Senator Ken Jacobsen, of Seattle, loved his cat Sam very much. So much so that now, as part of his support of a bill that would allow humans and pets to be buried in the same plot of graveyard land, he gave the Seattle Times a photo of himself with his dead cat. The caption confirms: "Sen. Ken Jacobsen and his cat Sam that died several years ago." It's all a little morbid, if you ask us. Surely after several years Jacobsen would have been able to gather the strength and energy to find a plot of land in which to bury poor Sam, even if it meant the two of them couldn't rest in peace together forever. To each his own, though. There's no law against just keeping the dead pet on a lawn chair for awhile, is there?

What a ridiculously silly posting.
Why thank you!
I don't think the cat is dead in that photo. Or did I read your post wrong?
Oh... I was making a joke about the grammar in the caption. Clearly the cat is alive.
OIC! Obviously I need more wine.
I think that's opening a whole can of worms that people don't really want to get into.
He had to bring up the worms!
If I was the person who's job it was to fight a person's right to be buried/cremated with their dead pet, I think I'd have asked someone to be put out of my misery a long time ago.
From the Book of Ramone:
I don't wanna be buried in a pet cemetery
I don't want to live my life again.
But perhaps the pets have a similar, but bizzaro take on us!
