Yes, thanks, kat, for the reminder to post all emergency information prominently on the refrigerator (and, everyone, be sure not to cover it up with a recipe or a kid's artwork or whatever!). I'll add a link to the thread about MedicAlert tags, too; anyone with a serious medical condition would be better off wearing one if found unconscious or otherwise incapacitated (and, yeah, I've got to get myself one, too!): BS: Medical Alert ID Tags

By the way, the name of the thread kat was referring to (and Amergin linked to) is named "BS: Facing Mortality & Keeping In Touch". Great idea to have a network of Mudcat contacts, just in case!

An update: The landlord is clearing the furniture out of Bruce's apartment today. I asked him if any next-of-kin had been found for Bruce, and the landlord said yes. He gave no further info but it was still a relief to me to hear that his people, whoever they are, were told about his death.

Then the landlord asked me if I wanted Bruce's cat toys! *gag* I just said, "No thanks." I don't think it's a good idea to give one cat's chewed-and-slobbered-on toys to a cat in a different household in the first place, and Lord knows what else was on his floor, but even if the toys had been new and unwrapped I don't doubt that some of the smell of the place would be lingering on them. I can be frugal, but not that frugal; I had to pass up that particular bargain!
