A cat has found solace in his feline neighbors after the loss of his own brother. In a heartwarming viral video, black cat Max was caught on camera cuddling up with two of the neighbor’s cats in the backyard—something he now does daily.
A year ago, Max’s world was shattered when his brother was hit by a car and died, but since then, he has found a source of companionship just over the fence. Max has become an extended member of the neighbor Keely’s cat family, visiting every day to spend time with her cats, Trevor and Bruno.
“The neighbor’s cat is called Max. Our cats are Trevor and Bruno. They are both rescue cats. Bruno is the blind one, and he is from Qatar. Trevor is the tabby one, and he’s from Dubai. They started hanging out around a year ago,” Keely, who didn’t give a surname.
“I documented Trevor and Max’s first-ever meeting, and I thought it would be a nice follow-up to see them all getting along. Max comes around every day. He waits at the patio doors for our boys to play in the yard.”

There is a common misconception that cats prefer solitude. While some felines are happier being the only pet in the house, many thrive on interaction and companionship, challenging the stereotype of the “aloof cat.”
