The family did not know how the cat comforted the anxious dog until they installed security cameras. How gentle and kind that cat is.

That’s quite a story. Animals know how to comfort one another, and even people. Years ago, I had minor surgery, that required me to restrict my activity for a week or so. My little cat (of the time) spent all day next to me. As I got to feeling better, she started to do her own thing, but if I needed to rest, she was right there, next to me. Pretty amazing.
They do know. When I came home from the hospital, years ago Peep never left my side, and was my shadow until the day she died.
There is something very special about that. Death entered the world because of sin. As I understand it, before sin, we would not have to ever say goodbye to our pets. They become like family.
I loved her so much, as she did me. I grieved so hard for her, I could not say her name for a year. That was in 2022, and things really went downhill from then.
I lost a beautiful, wonderful little cat, some years ago. Lee actually helped me through with his comments and support. To this day, I avoid thinking about the details, and take comfort in the fact that I gave a loving home and care to a stray who otherwise probably would have had a much worse fate. I have a loving little Siamese that takes pretty good care of me, these days. (I’ve concluded that the care flows in both directions.)
As to the larger issues, a couple of verses come to mind.
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
“‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
It really will get better, and God will restore His faithful.
I pray so.
It will come to pass.
