In the recording, the cat, seeing the crying child, first approaches him and tries to cuddle by standing on its hind legs. When this gesture does not work, it climbs onto a nearby chair and starts rubbing against the boy's head.

The touching scene ends with the child stopping his tears and starting to pet the cat, his attention completely shifting to the comforting pet.

A viral hit that stole the hearts of internet users

The story of the little boy and the caring cat became a web hit. The video has been viewed over 26 million times, and nearly 5 million TikTok users have liked it. In the comments, people shared their own experiences with cats, emphasising that animals often show extraordinary empathy.

My cat is always by my side when I cry – wrote one person.
Sometimes animals understand emotions better than humans – added another commenter.

However, there were also surprised voices.

I've never seen a cat that cared so much about someone other than itself – stated one of the internet users.

Animals that understand

The video proves that cats can be remarkable companions, especially during tough times. Their reactions, although not always predictable, can be full of warmth and support.

The story of the crying boy and his animal comforter reminds us of the important role animals can play in our lives – both as loyal friends and emotional support.
