Some people do get very strange as they get old.NO I would not leave that amount to an animal.If I had that sort of money I would leave it to an animal charity for its care and protection for the rest of its life,and to support their work in the future.That is if I WAS INCLINED to make such grand gestures. Personally I would like to leave that sort of money to help some youngster get a chance in life.-Rose

No I wouldn't but I can imagine that there are some 'vultures' waiting for older relatives to die and they've almost earmarked what they will do with the cash. The cat owner might have thought they would rather the cat inherited, than grabbing relatives. Personally, I can think of alot of places where the money would have done more good though.
