A teacher in Texas was deeply distraught when her 16-year-old cat named Blondie died.
But Tonya Andrews' tears of sadness turned to tears of joy when her loving students at Joshua High School, in Joshua, surprised her soon after with an extraordinarily thoughtful gift: two adorable kittens.

They then hand over two cute female kittens, and the educator's reaction is priceless! Andrews is seen overcome with emotion and bursts into tears.
"Are they mine?" she asks the teenage girls, almost in disbelief, as she cuddles one of the tiny cats and then holds the other. They've since been named Missy and Girlie.
Andrews told The Huffington Post that Blondie died in her arms on her way to the ER vet hospital in Burleson shortly after she and her husband realised the cat was sick.
"I cried pretty much every period that next day at school," she said.
"I thought something was afoot, however, when only half of my class was in my room second period the next day when the tardy bell rang."
