That is so sweet, Ken. I'm touched. When I found a dead cat in the road, recently killed (still warm), I took it into my car in a box and took it home with me, then called animal control and had them come get it. I was hoping that whoever it belonged to might at least be able to find out what happened to it, but I have no idea what animal control did with it. Your approach was much nicer.

Thanks, Kris.

I think Mocha was a stray; there are a bazillion strays in my neighborhood. At one point there was a little family of kitties living in the bushes next to my porch, but they got scared and ran off after a couple of days.

I came across your site courtesy of Suburban Bliss, and just wanted to say how kind of you that was. Maybe that kitty had a home somewhere and I'm sure his or her family would be happy to know Mocha got a decent burial from a good person.

Huh. I'm actually unattached at the moment, though I didn't think that this article would be the one to inspire procreation.

Thanks for the kind words. :)

You are a very nice individual.

I hope you're attached because I know a lot of people who would totally love to have your babies ...

This just breaks my heart. Now when you go to heaven, there will be warm fluffy cats with you (and you won't be allergic to them).

There is something haunting about this story.

So let me get this straight...
If I found you dead on my doorstep, you would want me to wrap you in a towel and bury you in my backyard?

Ok.

Does it have to be a good towel, cause like... those are expensive.

Today was a little bit sad.
