Pets in the Obituaries?

[Caliga]

My late cat Caesar accomplished the following in his life:

* killed one mouse and delivered the corpse to me
* meowed when a pizza boy was at my door but for some weird reason would not ring the doorbell

That's it.

Probably because the cat couldn't reach it.

Proves the point--that's  more than most people accomplish in their lives.

So, what say you?  I get that we're sad after a pet dies, but is is proper to have a pet obituary WITH the human obituaries?  Might it not be better to have a different listing and not mash them together?

Some cats have accomplished more with their lives than most people.

It may well be that the pet obituaries section will become more prestigious than the human one, but the newspaper can maintain a diplomatic silence on that.

One of our cats spent 6 months living alone on the streets of downtown Seoul and made it unassisted to the new house we had moved to.

It's the most incredibly badass thing a living creature I have known has ever done.

Damn, I bet he burned up as shitload of those nine lives in the meantime, too.

Maybe you have a very distinctive odor?

Just because I totally punked your cat is no reason to get personal.

Meh - the obits aren't all that far away from the thinly-disguised prostitution ads in the newspaper classifieds anyways, so it's hard to get too worked up over it.

Uh, what kind of prostitution do they have up in the Yukon?

It's true.  There was a cat named Simon that attained the rank of "Able Seacat", in the Royal Navy.

Wow, The university of washington had its own stable of ho's? Fancy.

I'm simply concerned that BB is making a connection between Obituaries and adds for prostitutes.   That's more then a little creepy.
