This heartbroken cat refused to leave her dead owner’s grave for a YEAR
A cat was so distraught at the loss of her owner she has spent the past year living at her grave.
The mourning moggy’s cries were heard by passer-by Keli Keningau Prayitno, 28, who found her lying on the earth at the burial plot in Central Java, Indonesia.
Dad-of-one Keli decided to adopt the cat but she returned back to the headstone, returning only to her former owners for food.

Now she refuses to leave the grave, rolling in the earth and sleeping there every single night.
Keli said: “Since the cat’s mother died she has stayed here at the grave. She does not want to go home. She has been here for almost a year.
"I thought she was homeless and tried to help but every time she would keep returning to the same place.”

He added: "It’s very sad to see. It shows just how close animals are to their owners.”
Keli said he had followed the cat and discovered her former owner had been an old lady called Kundari who had recently died.
And despite being offered new homes, the cat can still be seen at the grave night and day a year later.

Keli said: “We take some food and water to the cat but she still likes to go home.
“She’s at the grave everyday.”
