Pets are more than just an animal kept for a person’s company or entertainment, they’re also an essential part of the family.
A recent viral video is a testament to this, whereby it shows a pet cat saddened by the death of its owner and sitting silently on its grave.
The cat, named Mochi, is the feline companion of 22-year-old Nur Salsabiha Mohd Sobri Yusoff and her late husband Mohd Faizul Malik who recently passed away.
Mohd Faizul, a Royal Malaysian Navy officer, was only 35 years old when he tragically lost his life on 16 March 2023 after being seriously injured in an accident a day prior.
Salsabiha shared a video of her visiting her late husband’s grave with Mochi on TikTok which has received more than 269,700 views and over 30,000 likes as of the time of writing.
In the video, Mochi can be seen resting on its owner’s grave and sitting still, as if it was deeply affected by the loss of its owner.
In the caption, Salsabiha wrote,
“Hi abi, mochi came to visit abi my love. She misses you and her longing for you has finally been cured.”
