This is the heartbreaking moment a cat carried the dead body of a friend along a street in China.

In the video, captured in Harbin City in northern Heilongjiang Province on July 2, a white and yellow cat drags the dead body of another feline.

According to onlookers, the two stray cats were always seen in this area.

But local reports said onlookers did not know the cause of the cat's death.
