Cats are remarkable and mysterious. Cleo in true feline fashion did the unexpected in a way that can't be explained.
No one has ever explained how cats can find people and places when they want to. Clearly Cleo wanted to find the old lady. How wonderful that she showed so much loyalty. Of course the old lady took her in as a stray and made her feel better. Now Cleo has gone to the old lady to make her last days more happy.
I wish I knew how they do it.

A wonderful story. What pleases me is that the old people's home allowed the lady to keep the cat. Many do not allow pets, but this one is clearly much more enlightened and realises the benefits for the elderly person and the pet.

That is a good point about the nursing home. It is so sad that people are forced to give up their pets when they need nursing home care. For a person who has loved animals all their life, it would be a devastating loss.
The nursing home was both caring and wise. They gave a cat a home and they gave the old lady peace.
