Yeah sadly you probably have a good point there., the inability to feel empathy and loss extends to at least some humans for sure.

For me though, I had to pour cold water on a sentimental video you understand, I highly doubt a cat is even capable of knowing what death is.
No doubt.You pouring cold water I would expect nothing less ha.Yeh we tend to make animals immediate extensions of our own emotions and will never know.Agree the sappy music...but Im just a cynical cuss and like Diz said the self absorbed shooter of vid.In the end,media age we do tend to make it all about us.
