Erin Merryn, Abby`s mother, recorded this heart-warming moment and shared it on social media. She said that Bailey was one in a million. He allowed her daughters to feed him, give him baths, dress him up, rock him in a cradle, and sleep with them. He was not an ordinary cat – he was truly a special cat that left heart marks on their souls. Even though he died, he was still with them in their hearts.
