"How's the cat?"
"Died four years ago. Right after you got married. Something intestinal...But really, it had a good. long life. Lived twelve years. That's longer than my wife was with me. Twelve years isn't a bad little life, is it?"
"Guess not."
"There's this animal cemetery up on the hill, so i buried it there. Overlooking the tall buildings. Anywhere around here those buildings are all you can see. Not that it makes much difference to a cat."
"Sad?"
"Sure. Even if a person had died, i wouldn't have been as sad. Does that sound funny?"
Haruki Murakami, A Wild Sheep Chase, pp104
