Janella's full post:

"The hardest part about loving animals is knowing that you’re bound to outlive them.

"That’s 7 year old me in February ‘06, proud and ecstatic to be holding my advanced 8th birthday gift from my mama.

"I found him at a petshop in Pasay and fell in love so fast that I didn’t want to leave him behind and wait for my birthday.

"He was the perfect cuddly gentle cat anyone could ever dream of. Thank you for sharing 17 years of your life with us, Twinkie. You have a spot in my heart forever," she wrote.

Netizens mourned with Janella in the comment section of her post. Some comments:

"So sorry. Condolences Janella Salvador."

“17 yrs” is a blessing. Thank you for your life, Twinkie."

"Condolences. Run free baby twinkie."

"Condolence Janella Salvador. I understand it is hard right now cause one family is lost but what matter is that they leave so much memories which we can treasure in our lifetime."

"You treat her so well, Ms. Janella Salvador. Your little Twinkie reached that age so far.  But yeah for us cat and dog lovers, it was so hard to let go of our pets when their time comes."
