On his way home from working at a shopping centre in the Philippines, Justine Leo spotted a tiny, abandoned cat crying for food. Moved by her distress, the young man decided to take her home.
Although his mum had never been much of a cat lover, the new arrival, named Meymey, quickly managed to melt her heart.
Unconditional support during illness
A few months after the little cat arrived, Justine's mum sadly fell ill and became bedridden. Her family worried about leaving her home alone while they were at work, but they were deeply touched to see Meymey faithfully taking up her post at her bedside. Day after day, the cat stayed by her side, offering a comforting presence.
A heartbreaking gesture at the funeral
After his mum passed away, the family gathered in a chapel for the wake, and Justine decided to bring Meymey along. Once there, the cat walked under the coffin before jumping onto it several times to settle down. Overcome with emotion as he realised the cat just wanted to say goodbye, the young man decided to let her stay there.
Even today, Meymey continues to bring comfort to the family, greeting and comforting Justine whenever he comes home from work.
