In the United States, a man decided to pay a beautiful tribute to his 20-year-old senior cat.
A photo posted on the social media platform Reddit has moved many animal lovers online.
A beautiful tribute
In the post's caption, the man wrote: "I put my childhood cat to sleep today and did my best to recreate a 20-year-old picture. I'll love you forever Gandalf."
In a photo from 20 years ago, a child is seen wearing an orange T-shirt and holding Gandalf the kitten.
The child, now an adult, recreated the photo by putting on an orange T-shirt and holding the senior cat, just as he had done 20 years before.
The photo is filled with emotion and serves as a wonderful tribute to Gandalf's long and happy life.
Sharing their support
Users quickly flooded the comments with messages of support, with some sharing personal stories about their own pets:
"Mine passed away in October. I still talk to him."
"I found out yesterday that my cat has cancer and I'm in tears. I don't know what the last seven years would have been like without her. I'm so lucky to have had her."
Others were fascinated by the cat's name: "Oh my God, I love that name. My feelings."
We also send our condolences to Gandalf's family and wish them strength during the difficult time of losing a beloved companion.
Putting my childhood cat to sleep today, and did my best to recreate a 20 year old picture. I will always love you Gandalf.
