Pets aren’t just animals who live under the same roof with us. They’re real family members, and we carefully keep our touching memories of them in our hearts.

We at Bright Side love reading users’ stories about their 4-legged friends, and we can’t wait to share the best ones with you.

My wife brought a kitten home saying that we’d “cure him and then give him away to new owners.” I was strongly against this idea and reminded her every day that it was time to give the kitten away. As a result, I’ve been waking up at 5 a.m. every morning for almost a year, because someone is licking my face. No, it’s not my wife. My cat’s name is Zoe. She was left behind when her family moved away. Every time I pack my things when it’s time to move, she gets depressed. She doesn’t eat, groom herself, and barely moves. Everything becomes alright as soon as she realizes that she’s coming with me. We’re now in what should be our forever home. And now, Zoe will always be happy.

Are there stories about your pets that you remember? Have you ever been in a situation that proved that you and your pets are a real family?
