An orange cat in Indonesia recently went viral on TikTok for mourning over its owner's death
On Thursday, 6 May, TikTok user Putri Yunita uploaded a video of a cat along with the caption, "Me and Tatan miss you, Mimo."
The clip has since garnered over 1.8 million views and 219,400 likes.
In the video, the cat named Tatan can be seen tearing up and sleeping on its owner's pillow
Putri Yunita wrote, "It cried knowing that it can't see its late owner anymore."
According to Tribunnews, Putri Yunita is actually the sister-in-law of the deceased cat owner. The woman passed away two weeks ago due to pregnancy complications.
She explained to the reporter, "My sister-in-law has kept this cat since it was a baby, it has been her pet for about seven years."
"We were shocked because it was so heartbreaking to see Tatan crying. When we saw it cry at home, we had to take it to the grave," she added.
She also noted that the cat only cried after the owner passed away and it has never had any problems with its eyes before this.
"Its eyes aren't sensitive and after we checked, it also didn't show any signs of disease, the eyes are healthy," she explained.
Netizens were also moved by Tatan's sadness
One person commented, "Why is it that when I saw the sad cat, I got sad too. I can't even speak in cat language."
Another person wrote, "This is so sad. Cats can also feel loss."
"Its face doesn't show that it's sad but the tears keep rolling down," another user noted.
