Alive Cats

She always checks the paper to see if She knows anyone who has died that day. They put in a person's picture and a little story about them. She also found out that someone on TV died, and even though She doesn't know the person in real life, She felt sad about it. It made me wonder about dying. When one of my cousins dies, it is true that I miss the particular cousin, and think of them. Mostly, I am sorry for myself when a cousin dies, because I won't get to play with him or her again.. Humans are much more troubled by this dying business. Some of them don't stop being sad for years and years. She seems to understand that better than I do. I think He and She are better off about dying, because both of them realize They are being sorry for Themselves. A lot of humans believe in places where people go when they die. He and She don't believe in that, and I wondered why. She told me She believes it is all in your mind, and if you remember the person, they send you memories and thoughts that keep them going. Her Grandma does that. It is why She likes being a Grandma-substitute. Whenever She is troubled, She thinks of Her Grandma, and gets answers from Her memories. It is different if it is a little kid who dies, because a kid didn't have a chance to make very many memories in someone's head. All this thinking about dying has made me sleepy. I am going to lie in my sun-spot for awhile, and think of my dinner. I will hope it is pizza, and sent Her energy-thoughts to see if I can influence Her. Pizza pizza pizza pizza............
