This is the adorable moment a sad little boy was consoled by a friendly neighboring cat.

Liam’s tee ball league’s season had just ended and he was feeling very sad about it. 

Five-year-old Liam from Boise, Idaho, was having a bad day after his tee ball league’s season ended and went out to the curb outside his house to sit on his own

As Liam’s mom, Krystal Woessner was recording, she realised the neighbor’s cat, Lily, had come to offer Liam much needed support 

He went out to the curb outside his house to sit on his own with his legs against his chest and his head down in defeat. 

His mom was recording him when she realised he was spotted by Lily, the cat owned by the neighbors next door.

Lily is an outdoor cat that frequently visits Krystal and Liam’s house. 

Cats are not especially famous for their tenderness, but this dark-coloured cat is full of love to give. 

Picking up on Liam’s sorrow, Lily walked over and gave him a bit of a cuddle to help cheer him up out of his rut.

The little boy tilts his head back as he is comforted by the affectionate cat.  

Lily rubbed her furry body against a visibly upset Liam. Liam was receptive to the cuddles and gave Lily pets on her neck

In the video, somebody can be heard saying: ‘Aww, she knows you are sad, buddy.’

While another person in the background says: ‘So cute!’

Lily then rubs her tail against Liam’s face and a slightly less upset Liam pets her neck. 

As she sees Liam is feeling a bit better, she decides to give him a little space but stays close and lays down next to him with her belly up, in case Liam wants to give her more pets. 

The 30-second video has more than two million views on YouTube. 

Liam might be going through a hard time but Lily surely has his back and will be there to help him feel better.
