17 Pictures Of Our Pets Growing Old Alongside Us That Show How Precious Time Is

Senior pets don’t get as much love.

I understand that kittens and puppies are adorable but we all grow up. I mean humans grow old so what is wrong with animals growing up as well? Isn’t it beautiful to see your tiny kitten or puppy growing up to be more mature and calm? Because I remember the day I got my kitten and after 2 years, he is fully grown up and thriving. Time always goes on and when you look back, it is always heartwarming to see the change your pet has gone through.

Animals are much more loyal than humans can ever be. They will stay with us through thick and thin and they don’t judge us no matter what. Not only that but they also learn to recognize you and will try to protect you in whatever way they can. Some animal species can be also quite empathetic so if you get a pet, there is a good chance that you have a lifelong companion.

#9 Who doesn’t want to snuggle up close to a fire in winter?
