Update: Cinnamon died a year and a half after her rescue in her forever home, at the age of 18 and a half. She survived against all prognosis and was the charity's most beloved cat.
I had been been filming her since the days she was rescued. For months I thought it would just be a sad requiem - she didn't really seem to be making any progress, at least not towards humans, and imagining her dying angry, confused and among people she hated was just too sad. But she wanted more from life, and she got it. She was too old, and too fragile to be put for adoption, so sfter a few monhs at teh cattery, she moved in with Marianna, Karie's sister, and spent the rest of her life there. It took her six months to surrender, but once she did, she never took a step backwards.
Cinnamon (Canela) was rescued in Athens, Greece by SCARS

Many people prefer tiny hairy kittens, but.....a wonderful soul like yours prefered to help an old and abondonned cat. May Allah (God) Bless you. My cat had cancer, his final days were harsh, not only just for him, but for me too. he lost appetite, bleeding, lost so much weight....but I never had the thought of casting him aside. his death was a sad event; but I am happy I spent wonderful days with him ( 13 years), and I never gave up on him.
Omar Ben sorry to hear
R I P, ,cinnamon :(
I appreciate your sympathy, thank you.
How is she?
Is she still with us?
If my relatives abused my pet after I died, I'm rising straight outta my grave and whooping ass.
I 100% agree!!!
I would Keep Them in Black
On there Behalf.
I'm coming too!
That should not happen to any animal
Same
There's a special place in hell for people who abuse animals.
I am not religious but I hope so
@@KM-5000 same
Amen.
I hope so too 😢
You mean what we do to the billions of animals we kill each year so we can eat their corpse?
I visited a cat shelter 10 minutes after my 13 year old cat went to the vet for the last time. I just needed to see healthy happy cats as he had been so sick for so long. I immediately locked eyes with a 13 year old tortie who's owners decided she needed to be replaced so they could have new dogs. She's now 16 and happy and healthy living with me....and there is a cold place in hell for people who kick their elderly cats to the curb.
Thnk you for saving the tortie - she wants to live longer bc of you !
". . . . who's owners decided she needed to be replaced so they could have new . . . . (whatever)"
These are the sort a people one must watch very painstakingly when they are around. People like that are pure evil (not in a religious sense) because they would sell absolutely anything and anyone out if it benefits them. Those are the kinds of people they'd stab their own mother in the back even if she'd be the best mother in the world. People like that are despicable and lesser than scum. Even SCUM has more character and honor than them!
You’re an amazing human and thank you! You are absolutely correct too!
Every minute was too long. Good thing you went there that day.
I did the same thing. Last year lost all four of my kitties. You get in that loop of them being so sick, medication, fluids etc. Went to our shelter and adopted two long hair black sisters named Coco and Carmelita who were 14 years old. Their original family dumped the sisters after 14 years but now they are both mine. Enjoy your new fur baby. 😻
My 20 yr old cat just passed away. So glad she could pass in her sleep on her favorite pillow after a long petting session. Safe and warm
You gave her the best life she could ask for
Safe and warm - just like your heart toward hers. I am sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss. My cat that I had for many years passed 2 years ago, so I understand. Best animal ever! 🐈
Sad😢 rest in peace to your cat! Gone but never forgotten!
@@censortube8662 so the cat did the same to him as well.
Wow, 😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😢
She didn't hate you, she mourned for her lost parents, hated her abusers, then lost hope for her future. You and the volunteers gave her the hope back.
😊😊😊😊😻😊😊😊😊
OMG
Astra Mccracken - what do you mean omg to the comment above?
OldCatLady MB - Agree!! Hope the family of the elders will be charged with animal abuse.
Po Panda Yes, I hope they will suffer in jail. I hope there will be a follow up to tell if they were arrested.
OldCatLady MB - They didn't say how did they get the beautiful kitty out of the house in the first place from those evil family members who took their inheritance and abused the kitty??
She was never angry. She was broken-hearted.
yes. :(
Animals have emotions. They feel deeply too.
treehuggermc1 I wasn't crying until this comment
This comment made me cry.
So true, my friend.
To think she went from a loving home to an abusive one. How shocking and horrible that must have been for her. I'm so glad she found you and enjoyed her final days. I'm glad she learnt to love and be loved again. I hope she's resting in peace.
I had a senior cat and this thought just broke my heart and filled me with rage... Someone loved and took care of the cat for its entire life only for some other POS to start abusing it
@@fujifrontier that's greeks for you, POS when it comes to animals for some reason. I can only assume its out of spite to be different than turks, since Turks are known worldwide fo their love and care for cats, even strays, and greeks are still salty from the 400years of oppressison from turks, so maybe its just one of those, "you love something, so im going to kill it: things.
The thought of her just going up to people wanting to be pet, but just getting hit by a stick is heartbreaking. she must of been so confused and scared for the first year she was in that family’s house, she had no one to turn to when in there; and she didn’t get any affection at all when she needed it
Beautiful story thank you
Amen.
She's passed by now, this was 6 years ago.
I hope her last days were truly happy for her. No animal deserves to be abandoned
Oh I have just seen the update.: Update: Cinnamon died a year and a half after her rescue in her forever home, at the age of 18 and a half. She survived against all prognosis and was the charity's most beloved cat.
Rest In Peace Cinnamon. You had love and a home in your final years. You can enjoy the Rainbow Bridge. Rest now.😭😿
thank you for this
This is my poem for pets that have passed. It comes from an 18th century gravestone. The epitaph reads: "No Heaven will not ever Heaven be, unless my Pets are there to greet me."
It will be nice to meet you, Dearest Cinnamon. In the interim, tell my Clawdia and Munchkin that I will be along in my good time - and I miss them both every day.
@@DarqueQueen7 Very toucjing. You will see them, later. I hope to see my pets when I cross over, I miss them every day as well. Cinnamon, no more pain.
Awww RIP sweet Cinnamon 🥺
I know this was a few years ago and this beautiful cat has already passed away, but I want to thank you with all of my heart for loving her.
Yes, this story haunts me. Also, the Cat that the Sun Adopted.
I'm sad too but at least she had the care and comfort towards the end.
Esos malditos debieron hacerle un daño horrendo a esa gatita😠😠Quiero que sufran lo que le hicieron a esa gatita 😔😔😔😔

In 2010 I brought in a big oarnge older cat ( declawed ) a neighbor who had the habit of adopting and then putting them out. I had 18 cat's at the time. Brought in 3 more that yr. . His picture was in my local paper up for adoption from the Humane society a couple yrs earlier. I had recognized him from that and found out his name Sebastian. He was someone else cat before the neighbors. He ended up yrs later diabetic. Gave him shots twice a day for 3 yrs. Out of 20 cats he became one of my 7 favorites. He passed in 2019 my mother whom I lived with and cared for passed 6 days after Sebastian. A very upsetting week. I wear his collier on my wrist today.
I will never abandon my pets, even if they become an “inconvenience” to me because of their age. That’s what you sign up for when you get them. They rely on you, and it’s your responsibility to give them a full and happy life.
They died, her owners didn't abandon her. They were old and died.
@@Batznblkcatz It makes me wonder what kind of Dirtbag relatives this elderly couple had. I just can't imagine what kind of scum would do that to a cat.
@@Batznblkcatz they are talking about the family that kept her after...
People don’t like responsibility nowadays
at least try to find a good home for them if you have too. I never understood that shit
People do not realize that animals are smart and have feelings. So disheartening story but so wonderful that you guys took her in and gave her love. beautiful story.
"People" couldnt care less, to these life are just accessories and tools.
Well, people do not realise even that other people have feelings, selfish bastards.
My friend happily informed me that she had finally managed to dump her new husbands' 14 year cat off at an animal shelter. I was horrified. I couldn't stop thinking about how abandoned & unlikely to be adopted the cat was and would likely die in the shelter, alone and afraid. The next day, I went to the shelter and Wendell was still there (after six weeks and his time was running out). My friend, when she had dropped him off, had noted numerous behaviour issues (false) with Wendell, making him even less likely to be adopted. I adopted him. I thought I would make his last few months loving. Hands down, one of the best decisions I ever made. Rehomed with me, Wendell's personality was playful and loving with a big dose of clown. Wendell lived another 8 (yes, EIGHT) happy years with me and every day, he made me smile. My point is, when you agree to take on a pet, it should be for LIFE .... throwing away a pet due to age is awful. However, getting rid of a human friend who gleefully dumps animals, is another great decision.
She didn't take on the pet he did, and if he doesn't have the balls to stand up and fight for keeping his pet or make sure he doesn't move in with, let alone marry, someone who does not like cats, then he is the one to blame not her.
If any of my friends let alone a partner showed such a dislike to cats they would be gone faster than you could count.
I'm glad that Wendell and you shared all those years.
way to go with the kitty 🐱 and the later sounds good to me too
She is a heartless bitch she deserves that blame and he is a weak man.
She is such a disgusting human being. gosh. I'm so glad you adopted him.
When my parents past away I took their cats. When the elderly turned 14 she became so sick. I thought that she would die within weeks or months. I did my best to turn her life into the most beautiful she ever had especially since my parents, her beloved humans, passed away.
In 2 months she will turn 22 and she has still a great hunger for life!
So happy for u
Awwwwee
I hope your cat is still alive and well. 1 month to go now!
Pog
That's wonderful of you to care for her. Many cats get turned into the shelter by their owner's relatives after their owners pass away and it's so heartbreaking; they not only lose their companion but their home. So it's lovely that your parents' cat is taken care of by someone in the family.
Okay, this one made me cry. For real.
Beautiful story, beautiful cat, beautiful people. It’s wonderful to know that the last phase of her long life was filled with love, companionship, comfort, and - of course - her favorite food.
Thanks for easing her path, hoomans. Every kindness makes this world a bit better.
This was so beautiful. It made me smile and cry.
Thought I'd read a few comments after hearing that story, I needed a bit of comfort, aaand Mr.Bloom is here.
I guess I found what I was looking for! :)
Damn me too!
RIP. SHE DIED. 😔
I have never seen that look in a cat or any animal before, my god you can see an entire story in those eyes.
So sad
It's killing me💔💔💔
agreed so very sad indeed, makes me so angry wen ppl are cruel to innocent animals 🤬😢
@@David-jc5jf sound like someone who believes animals dont have feelings. Now thats a belief of conveniece if ever there were one. Put my 19 and a half yr old cat down last week. Held him in my arms the whole time. Then buried him. So glad he didnt lose his owner. Atleast i can posess, understand and mentally process the facts of the situation as a human.
@@David-jc5jf oops we got a badass over here 🙄
I am sure there is a special hell for people who betray and abuse animals
In the Bible, it's said that anyone who harms an animal out of spite or ill intent will be condemned to hell unless they seek forgiveness from the creatures they harmed and from god.
@Vadika Munster Oh, my God, don't talk about vegetarianism. You are a hell for all calves and cows. You probably have to read a little if you didn't know that veganism is the only thing right.
The hottest part of hell is surely reserved for not only animals abusers, but child abusers too. Nothing is too bad for these monsters, They're beyond redemption.
@Sophia Alina Carli exactly i am going vegan too
@Sophia Alina Carli Listen..I love animals and I care as much as possible for them but I love eating meat. It is healthy and my favorite meal. I like chicken. But that doesn't mean I abuse them in general. I actually take care of chicken and birds and animals in general. But in the same time, I want a good life for myself too. So, going vegan isn't really a solution.
4 years ago we took Molly home. My husband was afraid of cats and we had many discussions about cats. I've always had a cat, my parents were both cat people. One day I spotted Molly on a online site and I felt her loneliness. I asked my husband again to consider getting a cat. She was old and those who owned her had allergies, they said. It turned out later that it was not true, they got a new young cat instead. Molly was too old and expensive due to diseases. My husband said yes this time. I had just been diagnosed with lupus and was very much alone because of it. Molly was picked up. It turned out that she was abused and she was terrified of people. She did not dare look us in the eye for two years. She did not want anything to do with us because of fear. I spent at least 5 hours with her daily and slowly we managed to build trust, my husband got to know her and they became good friends after she realized that we were not dangerous. Molly does not want to sit on our lap or be carried, but she is mostly lying on a blanket by my side. Her time is running out, but when that time comes she will have her last rest under the rose tree where she loves to lie in the summer. She has gout and is not doing well, but my husband has built her own stool so she can get where she wants. I love the little red body and we will give her what she wants for the rest of her life, she means so much to us. I will only adopt older cats who have had a difficult life. I think that is my task in life.
My last cat I just adopted is 12

We need more people like you. We also have got our four dogs practically from the street. It's so nice finally seeing them happy..
God bless all of you!
Thank you! You are an amazing human, god bless you❤
This was so beautifully narrated. What a wonderful way to honor this beautiful creature. It is hard to comprehend what these poor animals go through by the hands of abusive humans. Then someone like this woman comes along, and reminds us there are still beautiful souls on this planet.
I had to put one of my cats down in Dec 2019. He was almost 20. He was my late wife's first cat. When my wife died he hid in a closet for a year only coming out for food and to use the box late at night.
After a full year of hiding in the closet I think he finally realized my wife wasn't coming back. He came out of the closeg meowing at me wanting me to pet him. He had a good run with me for another 6+ years. Age finally caught up with him. I like to think my wife was very happy to see him when he left this world.
Aaron Hersey I’m crying
For a man who claims it's his wife's cat and not their cat, you sound to be doing good job taking care what she left behind. Condolences on your losses. You did wonderful.
I can GUARANTEE you that they're together, and very happy. When my very old cat, Tiggs, passed away, i was with her in my bedroom. There was a full moon that night and she had been ill, and I knew for several days that she was going to pass. That night, around 2:10 a.m., she had been lying on the carpet and wouldn't let me move her. Suddenly she gave a little cough and lifted her left paw to the window through which the light of the full moon was pouring. In less than a split second she was gone. At that exact moment there appeared at my window the silhouette of a woman, just an outline, made entirely of different colored lights. It was that silhouette toward whom Tiggs had lifted her paw. She had the most peaceful and happy look on her face. I loved her so profoundly and haven't cried much. I buried her in the morning, in a nice woods. She was my second cat to pass but I hadn't had the chance to be with my first one at his death. Therefore, when I saw the figure of the illuminated woman reaching out for Tiggs, I felt at peace--and of course, astonished at what I'd seen. But I can also tell you I have never seen anything so beautiful as the woman illuminated by lights. I hope to see her again at my own passing.
This made me do happy and sad at the same time. Sad you lift your lovely wife and kitty having a broken heart. But so happy you didn't give up on him and that he eventually accepted your love. 💜
That hit my soul, it’s amazing that animals go through grief and mourning of people and animal friends they have bonded with and few people realize it, thinking an animal doesn’t have the emotional or mental range to know what is going on, even though they do in their own way.
I’m a 74 year old cat lover and I’m crying like a baby! I have rescues that are my children! I’ll never understand how people can be cruel to animals! Thanks for your help and love for the sweet old lady!
I had to stop and cry too!
I'm crying my eyes out at the beautifully spoken words and the fact that this cat fought so hard to protect herself. Finally, she could relax, finally she could be loved.
Crying so much for hearing what happened to her and her loneliness and how she slowly started to play a bit . I also can’t and will never understand and don’t want to understand why ppl are cruel to animals. But I’m thankful to the ladies who rescued her and knew how to treat her with softness and kindness and love
I'm there with you... Bawling like a baby ....
❤
RIP Cinnamon. You were a beautiful girl who didn’t deserve to be treated horribly. May you run wild and free with the cats of Starclan
I adopted a 9 yr old cat about eight weeks ago. He and I are adjusting well. He's such a loving boy & this makes me love him more.
Cinnamon was probably grieving for her owners in the beginning & couldn't understand why they left her. Bless you for not giving up on her. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
Peggy Hill When my mom died I took her cat 🐈 into my home she
went deaf after mom died and was an elderly cat. She spent 17 months
with us before she had a tumour in her mouth took her. I would have
done anything for her. I had 3 cats of my own - they tolerated each
other. When the vet told me there wasn't anything they could do due
to her age i held her until she died. I cried my eyes out but I knew that
I had looked after her and my mom would have been pleased. All
animals deserve a second chance of happiness 🐈🐱🐩🐶
Wendy Holland.....Oh, your story is sweet! You are absolutely a daughter to be proud of! Animals are smarter than we give them credit for. Think about this: by taking in your Mom's kitty & the kitty WANTED to stay with you (cause let's face it, cats do what they want to do), you & the cat were together because of your Mom. Therefore, your Mom was still around because you & the cat loves your Mom. Your common bond was your Mom. That in my opinion can be another example of circle of life. I know it's hard, you lost your Mom & kitty. (I lost my Mom & a special cat too.) Take heart in knowing you did right by them both. Thank you for sharing!
Peggy Hill Thank you for your kind words When I was holding moms
cat 🐈 I told her they I was so sorry but there was nothing we could
do for her. She was in her 20s which is a good age for a cat 🐈I
wasn't there when my mom died so I needed to be there for her best
friend. Despite being deaf I told her that her best friend was waiting
for her she fought and in the end she passed. I was in tears but I
knew that mom and cat were together again. I am a big softie as
animals ( especially cats ) and have 3 cats 🐈🐈🐈 the eldest will
be 18 this year and I watched her being born - I hope that she will
be with me for afew more years. My other 2 are 14 this year had them
since they were 10 weeks old. I have always looked after my babies
and they give me lots of affection without expecting much back but
they do get more back. My mom would be proud of me as she knew
I love cats and other animals.
Respect all animals no matter what their ages are!! 🐈🐱🐢🐣🐀🐶🐕
Wendy Holland......I , like you are more of a cat person. But I do like all animals. Your Mom knows how you feel, I'm sure. Sounds like the thing your Mom may have wanted the most is exactly what happened. You & her cat to be with one another. Don't feel bad about not being there cause I'm a believer that things happen the way they're supposed too. I have 2 grown children and I'm not so sure I would want then there when I pass, only because it hurts too bad. You seem like a fine young lady. Whenever you miss her & her kitty, go to a quiet place, take out her picture & talk to her. Or, just sit down & write her a letter. Thank you again.
Peggy Hill You sound like a lovely lady and your words
are a lot of comfort to me. Although mom and I lived
over 100 miles apart we were close. I was the only one
who could look after her cat🐈 the one who could spend
time with her even though I had 3 of my own. While writing
this my babies aren't far from me. I always believe that my
cats deserve all that I give them plus more. I like what you
said about me - a fine young Lady even though I am in my
fifties but I don't act my age!! I bet your 2 grown children
love and adore you just like I with my mom. I wish you and
your family health and happiness. I have my moms ashes
with me and I do speak to her plus have photos around
my home along with my cats 🐈🐈🐈
Take care
I love how the only caretaker she would accept at first was the elderly woman, probably because she reminded her of her old owners.
cats do have an incredible memory, they are not stupid animals. I have always treated all animals with respect, after all they have a right to live as much as I do. I have two cats myself!!!!
Her old owners are the ones who abused her. But perhaps there was a grandma in the family who was kind to her
@@bettyadkins7027 Listen to the first part of the video again. She wound up with the abusive owners because her original owners were an elderly couple who passed away within a few months of each other. They no doubt loved her dearly.
@@bettyadkins7027 you have to rewatch the video again. It is one of the critical background of Cinnamon. She was initially owned by elderly couple and was left in the care of their relatives after they passed away. Unfortunately the relatives aren't really into cats/pets, I believe that's why Cinnamon would be chased by sticks, maybe she just wanted someone to pet her, though she trusted them it all soon fell apart.
The old woman is the proof that she must've missed her elderly owners that's why she could only interact with the old woman at first.
Big loving girl!
Cinnamon got a second chance to find out there are people who loved her dearly at the end!
I find that comforting.
RIP Cinnamon
🙏
I loved the way you told us her story! I'm touched beyond words!
Maybe she likes the old woman because she remember it to her old owner
I was thinking the same.
Yes. She had wonderful experiences with elderly and trusted that first.
Yes. She equated her with the love and kindess she had for years. Can you imagine being safe and loved in your own home, losing the people who love you and then being abused at the hands of bad people. It broke her heart. Her spirit! This poor girl. Thank God she has love and kindness and her spirit restored.
Paso: That's what I thought as well.
Could be a familiar scent too
I'm a full grown man crying like a river thanks UA-cam
I know the feel mate :P no shame
It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's okay.
That's cause you have a heart 💓
That means you’re a good man 🙏 May you be blessed.
Awe hun xx
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 poor baby. How cruel people are sometimes. Thank you for giving her love and a home
Made me cry. Not with sadness. With joy that you wonderful people had the fortitude to give her the chance she deserved. Thank you for saving this lovely lady.
She died knowing she was loved and cared for. I had to fight back the tears.
When?
@@amir3515 a year and half after she was adopted
gaaaay!
Ahwww so sweet
She was loved and cared for in her last days. Thank you for helping her! What a story...
She was so badly traumatised. Cats do grieve deeply when their human dies. She lost both of her humans and then was physically abused. It's heartbreaking.
Elderly cats are amazing by the way. They are so grateful to be adopted, to be loved again, to have a warm and comfy home again. They also often love to just sit with their human resting their paw on their hand. I don't know why elderly rescue cats do that but it's lovely. It seems to mean "please don't go away".
Love my cats...
People that abuse animals have a special place in Hell
Theyre also very sensitive. People seem to think cats are really aloof. They’re very anxious animals, to take a cat out of it’s comforting environment, that its been in for years and then hit it with a broom so often that it’s afraid of brooms is just evil.
@@coffee593 there's a special place in Hell for those that hurt children and animals!
This poor angel suffered so much...😢
My 14 year old cat does the paw thing. Especially if you start to move, he’ll reach out for you
My 3 year old kitty does that too..perhaps she is an old soul....
This was so poetic. So beautiful and sweet. Rest in peace Cinnamon. I'm glad she was able to feel love and kindness in her last moments instead of the bad ones she has felt for so long beforehand.
Older cats are some of the BEST cats. They've already matured so no surprises. They are usually calm, for the most part. They still play!!!!! They are content, and grateful for all they have, too.
We adopted 'Pinky' at age 10 or 11. He was homeless and had always lived outdoors. We made a house cat out of him, with added priviliges that he could still go outside - but he always knew his home and returned every late afternoon to his family. He not only was beloved of my son and me, but the other cats in our family as well. He was uncommonly gentle. Pinky raised our 4-week old kitten, Gawain!!!. I always called him 'uncle Pinky'. Gawain loved him very much. Pinky passed at about the age of 22. We didn't have him his whole life, but we gratefully had him half his life. (without the damage; Pinky was a marmalade just like in the thumbnail photo of this UA-cam,)
She’s friendlier towards the elderly volunteer because she probably reminded her of her previous owner who died
I Agree Wholeheartedly!!!!
💯
My friend adopted an older pit bull. She's well behaved on walks, until she sees an old woman - then she starts pulling, and tries to jump on the stranger. That is never ideal, but it's particularly a problem for a strong dog and a little old lady! We think her owner before the shelter must have been an older woman, she's just always so excited to see them.
Older ladies move slower and appear less threatening because of it. Cats don't like sudden movements.
I'm not crying, you're crying😭
My cat is going on 20 now and she runs around like a kitten. She’s going to outlive me.
Then try your best to survive and see her off then one day as all of us will be, she will guide you to a happy place
My cat has just reached 19. Sometimes she runs and mostly she shows signs of age. But she will be my last cat because I don't want any pet to outlive me. I couldn't bear to leave a pet homeless.
@@silvanahansen3304 I know what you mean. I wouldn't want to leave a pet here on earth without me either.
@@carcas3d that's a wonderful way of putting it. Thanks for sharing that.
@@carcas3d My cat and I will die together and be buried in the same coffin with her on me...
Oh bless this dear sweet cat. Abusive people are criminals. Should be in prison.
I am crying so much right now after hearing of Cinnamon's journey. The tears keep streaming down my face. For the lady who spoke so poetically and lovingly and beautifully, thank you! Thank you for filming Cinnamon's last chapter and for letting us know her and love her even from a distance and through a computer screen. I have raised cats -my kids- for more than half my life and as a cat mom I felt the pain that you endured when you couldn't approach her at first. And the longing you had to touch her soft fur. Bless your heart for making her last chapter theee one where she felt worth and loved and happy! 🙏❤
I will never understand how a person could abuse an animal. God bless you for adopting her and loving her.
SB died.
Narcissism i.e. me, me, me - that's how.
Me neither, No empathy
Sadly, back from the ages of 3 to 6, I had a very bad fear of dogs.
Partly because of how excitable they were, and partly because of how small I was compared to the ones I grew up around. It was so bad that every time we came to my grandma's house, I'd scream until I was put on the counter, away from the dogs.
At age 5, we adopted a dog who came from neglectful owners. Her name was Chyna, and she was gorgeous. Heterochromia, soft brown, white, and black fur. She was as big as the other dogs from my grandma's house, so I was still very weary of her.
Like dogs do, she'd try to play with me and interact with me. But being scared, I'd always react by running away, screaming, crying, or pushing & hitting her on the nose. I thought if I scared her enough, I wouldn't have to be scared because she'd leave me alone. However, she didn't.
She persisted. She continued to try and interact with me, and show me the unconditional love dogs do. She just tried a different approach. She tried sitting a little ways away from me, and looking at me. Or scooting close, and putting her head in my lap. She tried being calm & gentle, when she realized I was afraid of her.
And soon, we became inseparable.
She completely squashed that fear of dogs, and became my best friend in the universe.
Sometimes, because of some other stuff (unrelated) I dealt with, I felt alone. But when she was around, I felt like someone cared about and saw me. She always comforted me when I was sad, or angry, and she kept me company when I was scared.
10 years later, she sadly passed away March 31st. I'm 16. We spent 10 years together. And to this day, she is my very best friend, and I still feel awful for the way I treated her when I was a scared kid. I never meant to hurt her, just to scare her so that she wouldn't scare me. But there's absolutely no excuse for that. I've not raised my hand to an animal since.
I'll never EVER forget her. I hope she knew how special she was to me, and how much I loved her.
How can someone do that to a human
My heart broke when they came in and found the toys scattered. She only played when she was alone. 😭
Makes sense. Humans were dangerous in her eyes.

Rest in peace Cinnamon... Sorry if their are bad people in this world. But good people surpasses all of those bad ones. I cried watching this. I wished i can hug you too.
People like you makes me feel like there is still hope in humanity, thank you.
Who else was crying while watching this?
I was crying too.. so sad.. I love my 3 cats and Gracie has passed on
The MEOWSTER I was and think how cruel humans are towards
animals. I have 3 cats 🐈🐈🐈🐈
Wendy Holland: I've been doing animal cruelty cases for over 20 years, and the most abused animals are cats. It's an under-reported CRIME because "it's only a cat". You hear about dog fighting, but no one tells you about the cats and kittens used for dog bait.
I've since retired - couldn't take any more horrors.
I hate it when people say ' its only a cat'. That's the wrong
attitude to take. I love animals and what people do to them
is sick. Animals and humans are living and breathing so in
my opinion should be treated with respect and if you
can't do that and then you are a sick, depraved person. I
admire people like yourself who must see horrific cases of
animal abuse and you do your best to prevent it. You hear
about it in the news but to confront it in your line of work on
a daily basis must be terrible. I tell people I watch it because
I can't believe that someone can do this to such a adorable
creature and think its ok because 'its only a cat'.
Wendy Holland: Thanks for your good comment. This was not to say I don't love dogs, or I wouldn't fight for them - I have. The 180 degree attitude between dogs and cats left me speechless and heartbroken. That attitude went from law enforcement to shelter workers, even some vets. Since I love all animals, but have a soft spot for cats, I just couldn't do it anymore. ALL animals deserve respect and help, and love. So I just continue to rescue - mostly cats, but any animal
When my wife left me she turned her back on her cat, whom I was more than happy to give a home to. People would ask me why I kept the cat, but she had never done anything to me and I promised her that no matter where I went I would take care of her. I moved a few times over the years and as I drove to my new home she rode next to me, either sleeping or watching the world go by, never complaining, never misbehaving. Then just before Christmas 2020 I watched her health rapidly deteriorate and I knew she was at the end of her epic journey and so with a heavy heart I said goodbye. She was a few months short of her eighteenth birthday but for over half of her life she had lived with me and she had been my cat. I still miss her, especially as her nineteenth birthday would be March 7, 2022 (I write this on March 5, 2022), but I am happy that I kept my promise to her, that I gave her home and I took care of her for the rest of her life. I could never have imagined abandoning her and I will never forgive my ex for turning her back on that cat, but then she did the same to me so in the end I am not surprised.
@jsp Believe me or not, your ex - she did the cat a favour, you made her so happy and loved, and she loved you in return, I'm sorry for your loss - she was a great age for a cat, you also had a lucky escape from your ex, I don't know you or your ex but she sounds like a heartless fool, both you and the cat deserved better and so much more - and you got it. 😻
@@Alexandra_Hill thank you.
Some people learn how to detach because of childhood trauma; its a survival, defensive type of mechanism. It's not nice, it just exists.
Sorry for all the pain you went through. It sounds like you both lived a better life after your ex. Thanks for sharing, and all the best!
My MAN. God bless you! And Rip kitty 🐱
How could anyone mistreat a poor kitty like that!? Poor baby. I'm so happy that you were there for her ❤ I'm also happy that she was playing and learned to trust again. Thank you for putting the time and effort to soothe this kitty's broken heart. You're amazing!!!
Cats are the most amazing creatures. So glad Cinnamon decided to forgive and return your love. 👼
"The relatives who chased her around with sticks and abused her..." There is a special place in hell for those f'ing bastards! Glad this cat has a second chance.
Yup. No one can escape death and no one can escape the wrath of God.
Yes
oh yes i believe that too. who ever is cruel to animals who are so good with us i have no mercy for them
Agreed.
It's not bad enough that this poor cat loses her owners and already feels alone. But to end with people that abuse her just makes it 10 times worse.
Back in the 80s, I was the construction supervisor on rehabilitation of an old apt. Building.
As my men were removing the heat ducts and I heard a mornfull cry.
I stopped the men form tearing out the ducts...
Up on a ladder, deep inside the duct, I saw her.
She was skinny, filthy and had been hit in her face, blood dried all over her face.
All I said was " come here sweetie" and
The cat jumped in my arms, I talked softly to her. " it's ok now sweetie" she held on to me, wouldn't even look around.
I took her to the NY Animal hospital and besides being hungry, and lost both fangs on her right side she would be fine.
( If I ever found the moron that kicked her....)
I had her for 18 years, and she passed on in my lap.
Her name was Cleo...
I still miss her.
Some day, we will find each other again.
So very happy sad!
Bless you for your empathy for that innocent creature
Thomas, the world needs a lot more people like you. If there is such a place as the afterlife I'm sure Cleo will be waiting there for you.
Bless u... 👍🏻 I’m sure that kitty loved u with all its heart. 😽
Beautiful story💕 Love always prevails. RIP Cleo ❤️❤️❤️
lets not only appriciate the story, but the work of the narrator - beautifully told. Thank you
How shocking that us so called intelligent beings do this. I don't blame her. This poor girl. I'm so glad someone came and gave her care. She deserves what ever she wants at this time in her life. Beautiful girl. Keep going, she deserves every scratch, all the warmth from a lap, a hug etc.. so glad your crew gave to her. Blessings to you all. Beautiful cat, you are loved.
I only hope that the 'relatives' that chased her with sticks and made her feel afraid, unwanted and unwelcomed in her own home, is treated the exact same way when they reach their vulnerable senior years. They deserve that.
I agree. Utter cruel people. They deserve such nastiness
I agree
I understand, but that will only create more tragic, unhappy & abused souls....as it goes on & on.
There's a special place for those so disgusting
Or worse
She died after a year. But she was happy, I know she was.
But the soul lives forever
At least she was a happy kitty
Sorry to hear that but thank you for making her last year as comfortable as possible and filled with love.
Poor baby she’s resting now
She died loved and cared for. That's the important thing. Those people who mistreated her should be given community svc...picking up trash. As far as I'm concerned that's what people who mistreat animals are...TRASH!
I know she is in heaven now, I am sure with her original owners ! Thankyou for loving her until she could reunite with them forever.
Thank you ma'am for not giving up and all the love for Cinnamon ❤❤❤
It’s so interesting that she was more comfortable with the elderly lady
Yes, I was thinking about this!
I don’t think so. It probably reminded her of her elderly companions before they had passed.
Her two owners were elderly. The couple both died within a few months of one another. The cat was left alone.😭
Wasn’t it the elderly lady that brought her food?
Michael Smith if u watched the video and listened you would no
I will never understand how or why people could be so cruel to any animal.
The same why they're cruel to fellow humans
They want to feel powerful, they want to feel like they are in control. Sometimes they are angry or heartbroken or just sad. The only thing they can do to feel in control is to fight something that can't do anything back.
Many people just see animals as less than
Because they are just 'beasts', it's not like they are human, you don't have to care, they're dumb and have no feelings. Many also think it's fun to oppress them because 'what are they gonna do?'
And if you speak they just laugh in your face anyway.
I will never understand that kind of thoughts myself, I'd protect animals over people anytime and without hesitation.
not only animals, recently a bunch of rugbiers in argentina battered to death a young student out of hate. Humans are cruel. It's very sad
So sad ....."people"
Poor cutie! Good thing that Cinnamon got a little happy end for the time she had left!
It’s like I don’t want her to die but instead living for 10 years or more living in this lovely home.🐈🥰
You can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat animals.
The test of a man is how he treats those he has power over.
No. You can tell everything you need to know about a person when you see how they treat animals.
Get the fuck out you annoying vegan. Nobody fucking cares about this extremist cult type shit you guys are preaching so go fuck right off. Stupid annoying tofuboy.
Jdr lol vegan.
@@JeromDR this isn't about that.
To the ladies/volunteers who helped this beautiful girl, thank you so so much. I cried so much. My boy was abused and abandoned before I found and adopted him. He's getting kisses and cuddles and treated like a prince for the rest of his life. I wish we could do this for every cat.
Same here with the cat I adopted a few years ago. She was at the shelter, in a cage by herself, hiding under a brown paper bad. When I inquired about the cat, Olivia, the people from the shelter said I didn't want Olivia because she has a crooked paw (from a fight that never set right) and she had Feline HIV. Apparently she was set to be put asleep Well, that's all it took. I wanted Olivia before I knew all about her, and I just wanted her MORE after hearing her story! I was appalled that the staff there weren't more excited I showed interest than in leading me to a more "suitable cat." Olivia had been abandoned to top things off and had major trust issues. It took months of love and consistency until Olivia just decided there was no turning back and dropped her guard and allowed her vulnerable heart to love again. Well, it's been over 6 years later, I have not had one whit of a health issue with her, and she is my baby girl that always puts a tear in my eye when I just think of what hell her life was before we met. I feel so blessed to have her in my life.!
@@gregkinsky3443 What a lovely story. Bless you for taking an animal that already had health issues, because that can be very costly and not everyone is able to afford vet bills. I also adopted my kitty from a shelter, and I suspected she didn't have a very good shot at being adopted, because she wasn't friendly like the other cats. I'm so thankful I took a chance on her, because she brings joy to my life everyday. I wish you many more years with your baby : )
Thank you so much for rescuing an abused kitty. I agree, I wish we could rescue them all!!
My black feral kitten has fiv .I was told she wouldn't last long shes now 13 and rules the house .both cats feral rescues
Yes, this story breaks my heart. My last cat who died at 17, was abandoned in downtown Atlanta, Ga., and she was six months old. The vet who found her said he knew she was abandoned, because she came right to him, was so desperate for love, care and food. Feral's and strays won't do that. We had her for 17 wonderful years. She too was in such a sad state when we got her. But as with this precious Cinnamon, after two years of love and spoiling, she became the most loving girl. The last week of her life she did something she'd never done before: every morning when my son took his shower, she'd go right in with him, sit there and watch him, IN the water! She was saying "Goodbye." And with me, she became glued to my side 24/7, more so than usual. I was with her to the very end when she was put to sleep from cancer. This was in 2002. To this day I miss her. Interestingly, as the anniversary of her death nears, without realizing it I grieve...until I remember why I feel that way at that particular time.
No matter the time is short or long, just shower her with love and TLC. She so deserves every bit of love. She’s such an adorable precious furry lady😘😻🥰❤️👍 she completely love and trust you👍🙏❤️thank you for just loving and take good care her🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😻❤️
Breaks my heart, I'm crying. Thank you 4 taking care of Cinnamon.
Am I the only one with tears running down their face??😭
No lol
i never really cried but this video made me cry like hell
No
No.....my tears are also running.

You are not alone 😞😞😞
Rest in Peace Cinnamon. You were loved, even by random strangers around the world. Wish I got to meet you!
Cinnamon will always be loved. Rest in peace, Cinnamon. I'm glad you found the love and care you so desperately needed.
Rest in peace Cinnamon... ♡
Rest in peace Cinnamon..

Cinnamon will be always on our hearts... 😢❤
I’m in tears watching this story about Cinnamon both because of her sad story of the past and the story of the present. I’m so glad she got to experience again the love she had lost before. The transformation is so evident! Thank you for your persevered kindness!
i am too, it hurts that she suffered when her original owners are gone, what happens when i'm gone and my cat has no one to look after her? i don't trust with anyone else to look after my girl
Me too. My cat is soon going to be 18 and I wouldn't dream of giving her up at her age. I lost her sister in 2020 to cancer that was heart wrenching in itself. I'm so blessed to still have her sister with me.

We adopted a senior cat (Harry) from our local shelter who, like Cinnamon, had loving owners. Both passed away, and a relative moved in and was the opposite of loving. Soon, they put him outside and never let him back inside. A neighbor who knew Harry brought him to the shelter dirty and confused. We stopped in to make a donation and saw him. They said he was sweet but needed time to come around. His nickname became Dirty Harry at the shelter, and my wife said we had to adopt him and make his senior years the best possible. He was initially timid but got along with our two other cats. Within weeks, he was beautiful, and we nicknamed him Harry Potter. Every night when we went to bed, he would come into our room and sleep on a pillow on my chest. He lived with us for over three years before passing away. That was many years ago, and I still sleep with a pillow on my chest every night.
Its just so sad when pets outlive their owners and the family left behind abandon or worse, abuse them. No matter what kind of relationship I may have with my parents, I would never abandon or mistreat their pets because they are innocent and don't deserve that.
This is such a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing and for giving her the love she deserved.
The narrator gave her such a beautiful story. She is a wonderful person for giving this cat someplace to call home, a safe place, for the remainder of her time on earth. She passed away in a home full of love and knowing what kindness finally was.
this video made me cry buckets and im a 24 year old man. i couldnt imagine if this happened to my cat
Darius Dash Me too Darius. So touching, sad but ultimately lovely. When the narrator finally got to touch her, my floodgates opened and I cried like a bairn... X
@@dashinazarov I could never do that to a person or an animal. Unless I want to be in therapy for the remainder of my life. My sweet dog is everything to me. She couldn't mean more if I gave birth to her. She's a sweet little 10 year old pom. I love her and would do anything for her to make her happy and healthy. So if someone doesn't like my dog they don't need to be in my life.
Weird. My eyes got all wet and the screen was hard to see. Anyone else have this happen?
Wilso me too. Story is just heartbreaking.
Same here, there must be something wrong with my screen
yessssss. I'm so glad tho she is able to be a happy cat afterall💗😢💕🐈
Yeah me too. Must be allergies
yes, shedding tears like a baby ....
That was beautiful, and you are an angel for giving your heart to Cinnamon.
Thank you, thank you for saving her and giving her a loving safe home.
This should be considered for an award of some sort for a short film
Bass Wanderer I agree
Same here! And this lady has such a beautiful,soft voice that can tell a story. Add that to a big heart for Cinnamon, she's definitely a beautiful woman inside and out! ♥️
Absolutely - I have watched it many times but I always end up in floods of tears.
No
It would be quite a sad film, as she was kept always isolated in a lonely room and saw them only when bringing food. Yes, One day the lady remained with her whole one our, how great!
🥺 the fact that she only liked the elder women at first. Makes my heart feel warm but also sad because she doesn’t trust young humans due to PTSD
Same, I thought it was so sweet at first until the implications sank in.
cats know.
How sad. What horrible people to abuse this poor kitty. To lose your loved ones and then being abandoned. Breaks my heart to pieces. Thank you for caring about her. You never gave up. Your narration was beautiful.
Today is Memorial Day 2023. A day to give thanks who lost their lives during the wars.
Today also for me, I'm blessed to have found this video. For many years, I've watch THE ORPHANED PET, and contributed thru Patreon, but my life took a hard turn and lost my reason 4 being.
My contact with Orphaned pet and listening to the voice of this amazing young lady, was soothing snd brought a peaceful moment so many times as her heart ❤narrated her stories of loving giving hervgesrt and life to these unwanted loving creatures.
The story of Cinnamon is a true blessing to God's creations and how we should all be.
This was posted 6 years ago and I'm sure Cinnamon is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge to welcome all.
This morning I cry many tears for Cinnamon and all that suffer bc I know and feel the compassion of this wonderful woman. I would love to meet her one day b4 I pass.
I now can begin my need and desire to join Patreon again after losing myself in all of life's struggles.
I'm thankful 🙏 for many things at 75.
The soldiers who fought and died so we could be free, the people who love and save the unwanted, discarded, throwaway pets in a manner that cannot be forgiven.
Her voice is of an Angel 😇 because God created her in his own image of love and kindness. She feels the pain of the unwanted.
On March 5, 2023 my Mikeeee died at 24. He was a stray who lived with me for one third of my life 😢.
I look forward to one day meeting all that have passed bc living here on earth 🌎 is too painful and filled with stress. I eishni was a millionaire to make a difference in their lives, but I'm not. I thought I was created to make changes, and that failed. I'm ready. ❤

Miss Mary I'll be glad to help you!
I'll bet you $20 the cat was scared & hostile after losing her elderly family, probably sliced someone's skin open, then got abused for it...totally avoidable situ.
I still come back to this video after many years......I will always think of Cinnamon and what you all did for her. A soul too great for this world.
Thank you lady for saving Cinnamon. I am a cat lover. I can't help shedding tears while watching the video. Thank you for your kindness. Cinnamon may die soon but she will be surrounded by love and her family. God bless you.
Notice how healthy she got once the pets and play started! To those watching, please dont overlook older animals when adopting a pet. I took in an adult street cat that hung around the restaurant where I work, and I could not have asked for a better cat. Eight years later were still together : )
You tell a truth, love heals, love restores.
Mine are 9 and 14. I picked them up from the shelter a year ago. The 9 YO girl is fairly sedentary except when the laser man comes to play. The 14 YO boy is still a boy at heart. He pesters you, sleeps, cleans out both food bowls and every now and then he shows off the Mazda mode....zoom...zoom. He likes to sit near me. Working from home, he comes and plops in the bathroom of the room I work from...sleeping...but with one eye open in case I head toward the kitchen. About the only thing that panics him is being in a crate and riding in the car. He needs another vet visit, but with me having to move in December, I am hesitant to put him through the terror without real need. Maybe next month. I'd like to get him used to riding in the car, but I am not sure how.
@@hvfd5956 They sound like great critters. :) On the getting used to car rides, sometimes they never do, sometimes periodic rides to places not the vet help a bunch. And that's about the most wisdom I can offer.
So cool of you. Now you have a bud for life
When I was ready to adopt, I didn't even look at kittens -- well, I looked at them and petted them, lol, but I knew I wanted to give an abandoned cat a good home. So many people want kittens, and adult cats are often overlooked, I think. But I think this is changing, thanks to information like this video.
Cat lovers should not watch this... I'm still crying... 😭
Animal lovers you meant
@@Pangea_ I know what I meant.
Oh but we should watch this...everyone should. We need to give this love to all in need

Im so greatful that you gave her a lovely home with someone who gave her all the live she needed she is now on the brighter side of grey and waits there for you one day you will see her again🐈🐾💝
Thank you for adopting her. The Almighty Will Reward you🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

what a beautiful cat. People who abuse animals, be it mental OR physical abuse, are scum of the earth.
do you eat meat by any chance?
i think you know that the answer is no
I didn't know that's why I asked, and I'm glad! some people complain about abusing animals and they're not aware that they abuse them simply because of their diet, what goes on in slaughterhouses is very painful, but most people are only able to empathize with the pain of certain animals, like cats and dogs. All animals are equal and have the right to live a life free of suffering.
i thought you were being sarcastic! My apologies..... i have not eaten meat for YEARS now and actually tend to follow what is considered a more vegan based diet now. I am very concerned about the wide ranging subject that is animal welfare
well said, b.t.w
I’m so glad that was loved in last year or two of life. How sad when pets lose their owners and the relatives couldn’t car less. This story made me cry. 😪😪
And that's why animals are sent to us, to teach us love and forgiveness. Every human should also have love and stability.
One of my ex-girlfriends begged me for adopting a cat. Although i love animals, I argumented it would likely be difficult to travel or to do other things, leaving the cat alone and to find someone to take care of her, if we are gone for more than a day.
So she had the idea to get two cats, so they would not be alone and we would manage somehow to find someone to take care of them.
In the end i gave in. After all I'm the kind of person, who tries to make the ones happy, that I love.
We adopted two cats from a shelter, both black (black cats have it more difficult to be adopted and i for myself like metal and goth-themed things). Their names are Schatten (Shadow) and Nachtmahr (in german folklore a small black creature, which will lay down on your chest, when you sleep). Both names fit them perfect (Schatten will follow you everywhere in the house).
Nachtmahr started in week one to love me like i was her father. She was always near me and in stressful situation like at the vet or when she had to get her paws cleaned, because they where dirty from burrying her poo, she was always much calmer, when I was present. (The paw-cleaning happened only once - her life is not really stressful, so it is a bit hard to find examples ^^')
This might be due to the fact, that she was merely skin and bones, when she came to our house and i was the first one to feed her. Big bonus points, i guess. ^^ Don't get me wrong, she loves and trusts every human, but I have a special place in her little heart. ^^
Schatten on the other hand was a bit different. She mistrusted me and was more into my ex. She even peed once on my chair before my computer, to show me her disrespect and hate. I don't know what happened to her in the past estimated 3 years before the shelter, but she was likely abused by a man and didn't trust men at all. She was afraid to be touched or even to climb on the furniture in the beginning. This got better after a while, but she was always a little bit scared (which is sort of funny, because she is really big and could rip everything to shreds, if she wanted to. ^^)
We lived 5 Years together and Schatten was able to build up more trust, even though she was always more fixed to my ex. Nachtmahr was always the little sunshine, bathing in our love and giving more love, than anyone could ever hope for.
Then i ran into some personal issues with depression and had a bit financial issues due to that.
My ex decided, it would be better to leave me for an old, rich, semi-prominent guy. She would go traveling with him a lot and this is why she told me "Either you take the cats or i will bring them back to the shelter."
What could i say? I was depressed like hell, lost my relationship, was angry and confused and so i said "Of course i keep the cats if this is the alternative!"
You don't take an animal in to leave it alone, when it doesn't fit your plans anymore. I didn't even thought about that to be an option.
So now we have a little 3-headed family and we lived together for another 4 or 5 years.
The cats are doing very well, Schatten comes and climbs on my lap, when i'm at the computer to get some love and falls asleep purring.
At night, my girls both lay on my stomach and chest or in my arms and they show me every day how much they love me.
This love and resposibility might even have saved me from doing something bad to myself, when I thought my life had fallen apart.
I have a new long-distance relationship since 3 years and i try to visit the cats new mom once a month for about a week.
During that time my own mother takes care of the girls.
We are doing well.
Thanks for reading my story.
Do not abandon your pet, even if it get's tough some time in your life.
It might save you as well.
All the best to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing this sad yet happy part of your life. You are truly blessed by the love of your kittens, you saved them and they saved you. Love conquers all. May you always wake to your precious cats cuddling with you. God Bless 🕊️❤️🕊️
Thank you so much for sharing your tragic yet beautiful story. I'm glad you have your fur babies to light up your world in those dark times. And I'm glad you have found a new relationship. You sound like a really great person. I wish nothing but the best for you.
Wow the audacity in that bitch just just wow
Sounds like the cats were much better quality then the girlfriend.
Thank you for sharing. You and the girls take care.
I don't know how people could do that to a recently passed relative's cat or a cat in general! Disgusting.
People who harm animals often end up being psychopaths and hurting people without remorse later in life. Unfortunately animal abuse isn't punished that harshly by law.
@@nerida3347 Please don't paint psychopathy like that. Having psychopathy does not result in being malicious for enjoyment.
@@nerida3347 Yes It Is If They caught In US,
@@Nothing_._Here Notice how I said "and". I'm aware many people with psychopathy are living normal lives. However psychopathy at its core is a great lack of empathy, and often people who are psychopaths and murder have harmed animals in their childhood
@@pamelagruno9722 Murder = life in jail
animal abuse = maybe a year
I'll never understand the people who can abandon an older pet. We want to get a dog, but our cat will always be first. He was here first and anyone else will need to be approved by him.
Thank you for loving her. She's beautiful.
She wasnt really abandoned, her owners died
Our loves ❤❤❤ to all who take care of Cinnamon...
'And that love will be the last thing she remembers from this weird and difficult life'
Ok, that made me bawl. Thank you for giving her that.
I cried as well..
So touching💔
I'm a 36 year old man. I didn't cry when my parents passed away. But now I'm sitting here with a glass of wine, my cat sleeping next to me, and I have tears streaming down my face. Somehow it feels cleansing..? Anyhow, thank you for spending so many important, priceless months with Cinnamon. You've been with her in what should have been her calm senior years, and thanks to you, they were after all.
You have wine. Alcohol eases everything.
@@crashpal acohol _and_ cats solve anything
hmm you didn't cry for the people that cared and raised you but you cried for a pet...i will understand if they were beating you like a dog and you were going through hell from them otherwise it's so fucked up...
blahza12345 you got 300 likes for this bullshit
@@jcoolverine3483 somewhat have to agree here. my dad has done so much for me and the rest of the family. I'd imagine I would very much cry if he did pass away. but at the same time i never cried when my grand dad passed away and I have many fond memories with him through my entire life. we do not by know the circumstance of the op sadly but its sad to think about
I am so glad she knew love in her final days. Thank you for showing her not all humans are bad.
