Some wounds don’t heal with time. So is the story of Travis Hunter’s soon-to-be wife, Leanna Lenee. Don’t get us wrong. Lenee is living the life thousands of her followers would envy. Engaged and preparing for a wedding with the love of her life, who also happens to be the top player in NCAA football, she has had escapes to Hawaii and Spain with her soon-to-be husband. Despite all this, there is just one thing that she gravely misses every day: her late furry friend.

Taking to her Instagram stories on July 9, Leanna Lenee posted the story of her furry baby, a black cat, mourning its loss. The feline companion of Hunter’s to-be bride was a vital part of her life, and its loss is something that Lenee continues to mourn. And days like today, which marks the birthday of her baby, hurt her the most. Remembering her, Lenee posted an emotional tribute, writing: “Happy birthday angel. I miss you. Every. Single. Day.”

The saga of these heartbreaking posts after her cat’s loss is something Lenee has been sharing with her followers occasionally. That Leanna Lenne’s loss is fresh makes it worse for her. Lenee shared the tear-jerking news with her fans on June 17, making her followers cry with the caption. “4 years wasn’t enough time,” Lenee wrote, following it up with three broken heart emojis. Lenee also posted a picture of her beloved cat taking a long stretch in the sunlight, captioning it: “My heart is so broken. I love you princess.”
