And that boy will have a loving friend for all of that cat's remaining years, during which he will learn important lessons and responsibilities of caring for a loved one that will serve him well with loving and caring for his future pets and eventual family.
He will also learn of the reality of caring for aging loved ones before they pass, and how to grieve. He will then help his future children with providing the same experiences for them to enjoy and learn from.
