Reddit user reknaps uploaded these deeply heartwarming and expressive photos of a loving boy and his equally loving cat a few months ago, with this introduction:
Patches the Cat:
Surprised my 10 year old on his birthday by letting him bring home a cat from the shelter. His cat was the runt of the litter, shy, and timid. When asked why he picked that cat he said “I don’t know, he just seemed so special.” I think they were meant for each other.
