On the one hand, it seems a bit much for mourning a cat.
On the other hand, I’d like to find the person who did this and do the exact same thing to them.
Sadly for some people sitting there petting the cat while they wait for their bus was the best part of their day.
The world is full of desperately unhappy people and this warm purring kitty gave some of them a little joy.
Losing that can be devastating.
