What would happen to your cat(s) if you died?

If something was to happen to me, then my DH would look after them as his just as crazy about cats as i am.
If something was to happen to the both of us then my sister and my mum would make sure they found wonderfull homes and will not be put on the street.
Some my sister would take in , some my mum would but some may have to be rehomed to strangers (home checked). they know what they mean to me, his mum on the other hand thinks i have far to many and that i should rehome at least 10 of them now to put me at 3. but thats another story.
And hopefully my children will be older and may home some of them also.

I've already talked to my parents about this possibility (most people don't know when it's going to be their last day on Earth).

Loki and Possum are not to be separated. My family is one who thinks cats should be kept indoors, so that's not a problem. Either my Mom or Dad will take the boys. It would depend on their situations at the time. Neither are the type of people who would fight over them; they would come to a mature decision that is best for all (including the cats) involved.

I'd have my sister take them, but she already has a dog and 2 cats, herself. If that changes (god forbid) then she could be considered in the future. I don't think my father is a good candidate at the moment because he has our dog, who is quite a handful. She's 16, and I don't think it would be fair to introduce 2 new animals into her life. I also think it would be hard on Dad.

Now can you help us who arent sure how ?? to set aside funds for them.. how you did it??

If something happened to us my sister or my parents would take my Limerick. I would rather my parents but my dad hates him. My sister has a cat that Limerick doesn't quite like. DH thinks it's because Limerick knows something is wrong with him. He is blind in one eye. But my landlord required someone local take him, so we named his parents. I'm not too happy about it because their cat Sara hates other cats.

Assuming my husband and I both died, our kitties and our daughter would go live with my oldest sister.

Both of my boys will go to my parents. I made sure of that even before I got them! My Mom has 2 cats already, but they've recently met and all get along really well together, which is a big plus. I know it'll be a houseful for my Mom, but she'd love it too...

Just a little side note while we're on the topic of our plans in the event one of us passes on. Please everyone be sure to have a Living Will with detailed wishes for your animals in the event that you don't die- but your are hospitalized for an unknown amount of time and won't be able to care about them. Having a Living Will is just as important as a regular one!

Since I still live with my family, they would take care of them. Even if I didn't live at home I know they'd take them in.

If something happened to me, my husband would take good care of them. He loves them just as much as I do.
