The elderly woman’s children took video of the moment that they handed their mom her present. As the video begins, the woman’s son puts a festive box on her lap, telling her to be careful.

“Oh, it’s heavy!” the woman says as she looks down at the box.

She carefully opens the box, revealing what’s inside: an adorable black kitten!

The woman immediately begins hugging the cat, and she’s so excited she starts trembling. Amazingly, the cat doesn’t try to run away when the woman hugs him. He seems to know that he’s going to a great home with an owner who loves him more than anything.

This sweet elderly woman is clearly going to take good care of her cat, and the cat will also help the woman. Studies show that owning a pet can lower a senior’s blood pressure and reduce stress. Pets can also help keep seniors active, and they can reduce loneliness.
