Interesting...That article was the first I had heard of him.
But, it has me thinking..Maybe his cat had it first. Or maybe his cat starved/dehydrated to death while he was sick.
This may be the story that I posted back in February

Of course, he could have told them about the cat or the diary and they just didnt include it in the story
