This Cat Visits Owner's Grave Daily
The story of Toldo, an Italian cat, is an example of the love and loyalty that animals show us. This love seems to even transcend death. Would you like to know what this cat did that was so exceptional? He visited the grave of his owner every day.
The Story of Toldo, the Cat that Visited the Grave of His Owner
Toldo, the happy cat that lived in a small village in Italy, lived joyfully with Renzo and his family. Like all animals that are pets, he loved all of the members of his family. However, he had a special preference for the head of the house: the aforementioned Renzo.
The two went everywhere together and Renzo seemed to be the one who cared about him the most. This is why it is no surprise that when Renzo died, Toldo, the cat, was one of the first to follow the coffin. This did not surprise the widow or any of the locals.
After his owner had been buried, Toldo began to go daily to the gravesite to bring gifts. These gifts consisted of things that Toldo could easily bring down the street: flowers, branches, papers, etc. It was his peculiar way and it was within his reach to tell his owner that he loved and missed him.
The New Owner of Toldo, the Cat
Toldo was passed into the hands of Renzo’s widow who lived her daughter. They visited the grave of their beloved father and husband every day, and from the first day they found a twig of acacia. In their words, “I didn’t doubt that it was Toldo, the cat.”
Neighbors and friends of the family are eyewitnesses to the every day visits that Toldo, the loyal cat, makes to his owner’s grave.
The love that Toldo felt for Renzo was something that everyone, friends and family, knew. One more piece of evidence that the love of animals knows no bounds.
This fact has been shown by many animals that have done the impossible for their owners. Would you like to take a tour with us?
