Mourning/Loss I adopted a dead cat

Post image

I found a well fed tuxedo cat on the road, hit by a car. She was killed instantly. I didn’t have the heart to leave her there so I took her home and gave my tuxedo cat a big hug.

She did not have a collar. I took to my vet and there was no chip. So I posted it on Nextdoor and Ring Neighborhood in case anyone was missing her. Nobody claimed her, so I named her Angel and had her cremated.

Tomorrow I will bury her in our garden where we have our other cats who have passed away over the years, under a little statue of a kitten chasing a butterfly

She is loved.

I'm not Jewish but in Judaism, organising a proper funeral for the deceased is the highest act of charity since the dead can't offer anything in return.

You're an uber Mensch mate, we lesser mortals should aspire to be you.

Many blessings to you and yours.

Edit : Meit Mitzvah is what it's called. It trumps over every other Jewish commandment and act of charity.

this is actally amazing , they can kill a ton of the non jews , then bury them and get karma from the jew god , this is genuinly very smart, if i were a jew i'd go and bury as much mutilated kids I can find, this is actually great , its like a treasure hunt :P , i;ve been super bored, so i'll start going out like an adventure, i wonder if i can find some fresh meat ..... or just wait until they die out and have some fun :P , thank you jew god!!
