Aw man, I wish you hadn’t brought that up! I’m 62 and live alone with two old cats. I was pondering the other day what would happen to my guys if I died at home suddenly with them inside ... they would figure out how to get to the bag of chow, but when that ran out and water all gone ... it was depressing considering it. I can’t have a critter door because of the critters hangin’ out around these country parts. ... Aw man ...
Put a step stool next to the toilet.
That's my plan.

Actually there is a group that takes care of cats and dogs belonging to deceased elderly. They find homes for the pets. Don’t know their name but you could google it.
Alternatively, leave instructions to whoever finds you to post here on Free Republic. We will come and take care of the cats.
p.s. You could leave a small mention in your will for those of us who come to do this.
