00:00My cat, Simon, sort of brought Darby back to life.
00:03When Nittany died, the brown tabby that we had,
00:06it was actually the first time I had ever seen an animal mourn.
00:12A part of her was missing.
00:14She missed a playmate.
00:16She missed somebody that, without having words to speak,
00:19someone who got her.
00:20Then came Simon.
00:23She wanted nothing to do with Simon.
00:26Simon would just go into her bed when she was sleeping
00:28and just make himself at home.
00:30He would play with her tail.
00:32He would just do anything to try to engage.
00:37Darby was very slow to warm up, but once she did,
00:41she accepted Simon wholeheartedly
00:44as her new brother.
00:46Simon!
00:48The stare down before the ambush, it's hilarious.
00:58And she smiled.
01:02You can see when a dog smiles.
01:04Darby, you're such a good sister to that crazy cat over there.
01:09And it was like, I finally have my person, my animal,
01:12my sibling.
01:13That is the total difference that Simon has made.
01:16Simon's persistence and patience led to the bond
01:20that they have now.
01:22It was super healing for Darby.
01:24Their routine outside is when they connect the most
01:28because they both love to be outside
01:30and they don't like to do it without the other.
01:34Seeing how their relationship has grown,
01:37now I understand that unspoken language that only
01:41they talk to with each other.
01:42Animals want that connection.
01:44They're each other's soulmate.
01:46Oh my goodness.
01:47A flyby.
01:48Of course.
