Triolet

If not my cats, then who will eat me,
When I have my fatal stroke?
Even now, their purrs entreat me -
If not my cats, then who will eat me?
Will earthworms nibble, then excrete me?
Will I be lost in lifeless smoke?
If not my cats, then who will eat me,
When I have my fatal stroke?

All animals die alone.

But if you're lucky, your cats will come to the wake.

I read this last night, and wondered if you were proposing a new kind of sky burial, with cats instead of vultures -

- and this morning the paper informed me that the local woodland burial site has gone bust, quite spectacularly. So there may be a market opening.

Far be it from me to shackle interpretation of my work!
