Overheard in the kitchen

Over the holidays, our friend Claudia found out that her cat, Jewell, had an inoperable tumor and had to make the difficult decision to put Jewell to sleep.

Cole: Mom, I'm very sad that Jewell is going to die, and she doesn't even know it.
Mary: Well, honey, she's a cat, and Claudia can't really explain it to her.
Grant: Couldn't she just act it out?
