Little girl bonds with her elderly cat

If you ask any person who had the privilege to grow up with a pet, they will tell you that their pet was their first best friend, one that they will never forget.

Pets can teach young kids about responsibility, care, respect and fair play, as well as patience and kindness. You might think that those are the traits that only a dog can teach you, but cats too are able to join in on the schooling.

This gentle kitty lets this toddler do just about anything she wants, showing his patient side. Luckily her father steps in and saves the cat from turning into a pony ride!
