Same vibes, same feels, looks sungit on the outside but we’re really softies. My baby boy Salem was with us for 13 years and I’m so happy I had all those years to be your momma my squishy, sungit pero malambing, matakaw sa pagkain bb,” she wrote.</p><p>“It’s been a week since you’ve crossed the rainbow bridge but it’s been so hard trying to process this,” said Megan. “I loved when I would rest my head on you and I could hear you purring loudly. I loved when you would sneak jump on my lap when I was gaming on my pc. I loved when you would be malambing but only wanting to eat my hair hahahah. I loved when you would just snuggle with me when I would take a nap. I loved when you would steal the chicken we were prepping to cook. I loved when you would always be by the door when we got home. I love you so much my baby boy Salem. Rest well… rest easy my love.”</p><p>Megan’s sister, actress Lauren Young, also paid tribute to Salem in the comments section of her post.</p><p>“I love you Salem. I’ll miss the nights when you would sneak into my room and sleep there all night. Thank you for teaching Melo how to be a cat huhuhuhu,” said Lauren, referring to her own pet dog.</p><p>“The sweetest boy ever and tita will miss your big belly, warm hugs and the way you meowed that only Victor [their brother] could copy… Love you ate.”</p><p>Aside from Salem, Megan and her husband, Mikael Daez, also have a dog named Soba, whom they got during the pandemic.</p><p>In a previous interview with PUSH, Megan shared that she has always been a big animal lover.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/3/12/fresh-scoops/megan-young-talks-about-her-pandemic-baby-kasa-199029"><strong>READ: Megan Young talks about her pandemic ‘baby’: ‘Kasama na rin siya sa family’<br/></strong></a></div><p>“I think I’ve always just loved animals. I had to force my parents to get me a cat when I was younger. As in I would literally beg them every single day. And I was so specific about the type of cat that I wanted. I wanted a white fluffy cat and bless my parents, they really took the time to drive us around and we went from pet store to pet store. We asked a lot of people but we just weren’t able to find that specific cat,” she said.</p><p>“Until one day my mom’s co-worker brought it up that she won’t be able to take care of the cat that she had and was wondering if our family was willing to take her in. And that’s when we just started having cats from then and after that cat family passed away kasi sobrang tumanda na sila. I literally grew up with them. Until we finally had Salem and then Soba,” she added.</p>
