Paperwork
Now that I have a cat I find myself wondering what will happen when it dies. Sort of a morbid version of wondering what siblings will sound like when they finally get around to learning to speak. That never worked out for me though since it was so gradual by the time it happened I had completely forgotten how I thought they might sound before they did.

I wonder if this might have been different had I had pets before. Well, other than a hamster which I don't think was mine and I only had it run crudely constructed mazes. Also those baby birds that were doomed to die anyway having fallen three stories and lying on the ground a while before getting to me.

The garage still has the smell of dead baby bird. I don't think I find it all that unpleasant but it can be a little oppressive at times. Sort of warm and clingy, if that can be seen as a attribute of a smell.
