Dogs are always considered to be the best friends of humans, and they never fail to verify this with their loving and caring gestures. But sometimes cats also deserve this recognition.

This is certainly the case of Yuuki, the sweet and loving cat of a young man who left home to attend a basic training camp after enlisting in the United States Navy. In fact, the bond between the two is very special.

Consequently, ever since the young man had left home, Yuuki's behavior had changed and in such a way that the whole family was amazed.

Yuuki is a delightful young black cat that was adopted from an animal shelter by Max and his mother Erin. The relationship between Yuuki and her new family was immediately very strong, especially with Max with whom the cat established a very strong bond. The two quickly became inseparable.

Six months later, however, something happened that the kitten did take too well, namely, her playmate and best friend Max left for a military training camp aimed at preparing him to become a member of the United States Navy. The young man was not very worried, because he imagined that Yuuki would keep his mother company during his absence and he never imagined that the kitten would miss him so clearly and so much!

After his departure, Yuuki began to exhibit unusual behavior. She positioned herself in front of Max's framed photograph, staring at him insistently and emitting tormented meows from time to time. The young man's mother thought at first that it was a coincidence, so she moved the framed photograph. But the cat found it and began to stare at it again with the same loving and distressed behavior. There was no doubt --- Yuuki missed Max very much, and she let this be known unequivocally! 

Fortunately, a short time later, the woman took advantage of a day dedicated to family visits to go see her son at the training camp ... and she also brought with her the grieving cat, who was finally able to embrace her human friend once again. We send all of our best wishes to Max for his military career ... and special kudos to the cat for her wonderful demonstration of love! 

Here is the video that shows the protagonist in distress ...
