An Adorable Cat Graduates With Her Owner After Years Of Purrrfect Online Class Attendance
Graduation day is usually about caps, gowns, and proud families, but Francesca Bourdier had one extra guest in mind. Her tabby cat, Suki, had spent two years showing up for every online class, so Bourdier made sure the celebration included a tiny matching gown.
When the pandemic pushed most of her coursework online, Suki became a constant presence beside the laptop, curling up near the desk and even parking herself on Bourdier’s iPad. Bourdier later adopted her from a shelter after a determined search, and the bond only grew stronger from there.
By the time graduation arrived, the cat had already earned her place in the story. Read on.
She made a tiny, Suki-sized cap and gown to perfectly match her own
Cats can be lifelong friends, and along the way, they learn how to live more harmoniously with you. Suki had been doing this flawlessly.
Due to the pandemic, most of Bourdier’s classes took place online
Suki has always fancied learning new skills since she joined the family, perfecting tricks like high-fiving, spinning, and giving her paw on command. When the brainy cat began attending every single one of Bourdier's Zoom lectures, it just seemed natural.
“She would just come onto my desk and lay next to it as if she were listening”
Suki's presence in class provided Bourdier with the comfort and support she needed to complete her degree online. Believe me, there is no purer love than this.
When one of her lecturers asked the class to bring in their pets, Bourdier realized she wasn't alone. She was surprised to see that almost every student had a pet with them.
This choice is similar to the Redditor who picked her elderly cat over her allergic girlfriend
Bourdier adopted Suki in September of 2020 from a local shelter
While earning a degree with Suki made Bourdier's school experience more rewarding and entertaining, it's just one of many goals the two hope to attain together. Suki is unique and has a sweet heart.
Having Suki by her side during class provided Bourdier with the emotional support she needed
The COVID-19 lockdown proved to be an emotionally stressful period, but this lovely cat, Suki, had her owner's back. She provided all the company and moral support Bourdier needed to finish her online course with flying colors.
We strongly believe this lovely story about Suki will convince you to give one of those shelter cats a place to call home. You never know what awaits you.
