[sundial_life] Keeeton's Ashes

The original Hauptkatze, Keeeton, was cremated. This is standard for most pets I understand.

But this time, we were asked if we wanted the ashes. I don't know about The Wife[tm], but I was kind of gobsmacked. But we said yes.

We retrieved that yesterday, on a long errand run. It was so tastefully done. we have a very charming little wooden box with blank sides, suitable for a later-added plaque (or perhaps a certain photo), absolutely sealed. I expected maybe a laminated box or something.

His ashes are on a high shelf in the front room now. I place where we can remember and recollect.

He was, as they say, one hell of a cat.
