I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home with my own hands 15 years ago.

Brb, going to hug my dog

Shows you the relationships we had with dogs as compared to cats .... I don't see any ancient Egyptians with any memorable epitaphs for their cats

Funny enough, there are very few Roman accounts of cats, period - they're clearly known and around, but the Romans apparently were not incredibly fond of them except as mousers. And to be honest, I sympathize. XD

I know the Egyptians sometimes mummified their cats.
