I broke down in tears when I watched this. I showed it to ,my usually hard hearted husband and even he shed a tear for the cat.

Even if we believe in Christ we still feel that loss. Our soul says, “they are in a better place”. Our heart feels the loss. Toby Keith wrote a song after the death of Wayman Tisdale...”Cryin’ For Me”. When I hear it I cry and think of those I have lost.

One of those morons ran over the cat and they are standing around talking and one is taking a video? It may not be dead and just needs care.

I understand your point. But it breaks my heart. Accidents happen when cats roam but you don’t ignore you ran them over. If you have any heart at all.

I saw a similar scene in a driveway. One cat, which was lying atop another, ran off when I approached. The one on which he was lying was dead, probably after being hit by a car. I was wondering if the cats had been companions, perhaps raised together.

There are similar videos showing mourning by dogs and chimps. My brother once even saw a raccoon drag its dead, car struck companion to the side of the street.

Even non-mammals can display complex emotions. My folks have a cockatiel who adores my mother and frequently chirps and sings to her. The bird also mopes and nearly stops eating when she is out of town, and then celebrates by chirping and singing with enthusiasm when she returns.

One time though, when my mother returned after an unusually long absence of ten days, the bird was utterly silent. My mother approached his cage, but to the astonishment of us all, he snubbed her by turning his back to her -- and even looked over his shoulder to make sure that my mother realized she was being snubbed.

The point having been made, the next day, all was forgiven and the bird was back to normal. I still marvel that a creature with a brain the size of a pea can exhibit such complicated, human-like behavior.

As I watched this video, it made me aware of the lost feeling those who do not believe in God must have when a loved one dies.

I cannot concieve of hoping that God does not exist.

That is very interesting. You don’t think of cats behaving that way because they are not pack animals like dogs. You would expect that from dogs. We have two cats and two dogs and the cats despise each other.
