How to Recover important Photos from iOS Device

Today I am very sad because my pet has left me forever. It's called meow meow. It's only one year old. It's a British short haired cat. Originally it had a long time to experience the world, and because of my negligence, it left eating food poisoning. I am very reluctant to give up the cat, because more than a year has brought me many joys and sorrows of life. Although the time is very short, but it has deep feelings for it. He might have walked back to my room last night as hard as he could, waiting for me to come back, and rushed to the pet hospital when I saw he was in a bad condition. Unfortunately, the doctor told me that the situation is not optimistic. I remember clearly that the cat was looking at me in tears when she was seeing the doctor, and I thought maybe he knew he was going to leave me soon. I told the doctor to do my best to save the kitten, no matter how much it costs. Unfortunately, God took it away. I'm not sure if I will keep second cats, at least not now.

On my iPhone, there are a lot of pictures of kittens that have been taken over the course of more than a year. Now these pictures are very important to me because they have kept me and the kitten for more than a year. I can always remember this kitten brought back to me so memories. So I'm trying to protect these photos from losing.

Maybe you would think that a few photos need not be taken too seriously. Yes, a few photos are not very important, but what's important is what it means to me. Now the kitten has left me, I can not help the kitten to take photos, can not record its every move, I can not even imagine the future to bring me happiness. So these photos are the proof that it has accompanied me. It is the proof that it exists in the world. So I have to promise that I won't lose these pictures.

I saved photos of kittens to iPhone/iPad, U disk, my computer, and even SkyDrive. But I was still afraid of losing it, so I thought about how I would recover when I lost these important pictures, and the success rate was higher in that way. So I keep looking for ways and constantly trying on Google. After numerous attempts, I find that the success rate of 2 methods is very useful.
