A cat joined a youngster in bed for a precious snuggle session. The heartwarming moment between the young man and the feline is enough to cause even the most unemotional, stoic person to shed a tear. Watch the video to see the sweet moment between the two buddies.

Cats, much more so than dogs, are very independent and strong-willed creatures. They will do what they want when they want to, and there is nothing you can do to change their desires. You can plead and prod a feline to do something all you want, but they will likely wholly disregard and completely ignore you. Efforts to get a cat to act or sit in a particular way will, more often than not, be in vain.

A video posted on social media perfectly captures the stubborn, strong-willed, but sweet nature of a feline. In the black-and-white, sped-up, time-lapsed footage, the cat hangs around a bed where a child is trying to sleep.

It’s clear very early on that the cat wants to be next to the young man in bed. The animal will stop at nothing to get as close as possible to him. The cat jumps in and out of bed, trying to find a position that is both comfortable and close to the little guy. The cat repeats this process, likely making getting shuteye nearly impossible.

About halfway through the 33-second clip, the cat’s demand is answered and responded to by the young man. The cat is in bed, with its body oddly resting against the top of his head and forehead. He finally gets the cat’s hint, grabs the feline, rolls over and holds the cat against his chest. The cat is finally at peace. It is where it wanted to be the entire time.

What a sweet moment. See, insistence and persistence do pay off!
