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.
