Little Girl Sings ‘You Are My Sunshine’ To Her Cat As He Passes Away

Nov 30, 2019

Pets are some of the most meaningful people in our lives. Even though they're not human, cats and dogs have the ability to steal our hearts and become our best friends. In fact, many people consider their beloved pet as a member of the family and nothing less. As a sad reality of life, animals don't live as long as humans. So there's a good chance that everyone with a pet will have to suffer the loss at some point in their life. This is especially hard for younger children who may experience this as their first loss.

Make sure you have a massive supply of tissues nearby because this touching video is bound to make your cry a river. The clip shows an equally heartwarming and heartbreaking moment when a young girl sings a song called 'You Are My Sunshine' to her cat who is passing away.

Abby is only 4-years-old but all of her happy memories of home include her beloved cat Bailey. This loyal cat has been with the family for over 14 years and has developed a close bond with Abby ever since she was a newborn.

The two love to spend time together by reading and singing. They're both determined to make every minute count, and it seems like Bailey can understand each word that Abby sings perfectly.

Tragically, the song captured on this video would be the last time Abby sang to Bailey before the furriest member of the family passed over that rainbow bridge. Bailey's kidney failed and she passed away with a few hours after the heartwarming moment was filmed.

When this video was posted online, it instantly touched the heart of thousands of people across the country and even the entire world. The post was shared, liked, and commented on. Hannah, Bailey's younger sister, also had to suffer through the tragic loss.

In an effort to cheer up the children, dozens of people wrote and sent gifts after seeing the video, as reported here on News.com.au.

Bailey's mother responded to all of the kind cards and comments by thanking the nice people who decided to give up time out of their day to help during this sad time. She said that the support was helping and that it was nice to see so much love and sense of community when so much negativity is seen online most of the time.

If you thought this story was heartwarming, send it to a family member or friend who needs to see it.
