The internet is weeping after a Reddit user “abherna3″ shared a touching photo of his cat Little Andrew, on the way to the vet’s office for the last time. As you can see in the photo, the Russian blue cat is holding his owners’ hands, and this shows us how strong the bond between a pet and an owner can be.

The owner Bernhard, posted the photo on Reddit and added a caption: “Little Andrew was my junior. He was 15 and a half and loved everyone, but just got old and sick over the last year. He purred everyday of his life and when he lost that, I knew it was time… He held our hands on his last trip to the vet. Little Andrew was much stronger than his mom and I.”

The cat had been by Bernhard’s side for fifteen and a half years, so we all can understand how sad he was when Andrew crossed the rainbow bridge. “He was a great guy. He was always happy to see everybody, always won fights with the dog, and just wanted you around all the time. He just finally got too weak to keep up,” Bernhard said.
