Attended a highschool classmate’s father’s wake just now and got to talk to a good friend Mark, who pointed me to a website from the movie/book “Golden Compass”. In that movie, people had animal-mates, called “Daemons” who represented their soul.
I took a short quiz from that website to find out who my Daemon is. Here she is, meet Amantha, an Ocelot:

It’s actually with some irony that my daemon turned out to be a cat, since just yesterday, a pet of ours–”Duke” a white persian–died suddenly. He was caught by the city pound on the street a couple of days back and spent 3 days in a cage before we finally sprung him.
We suspect Duke caught some sort of illness while in the pound, and yesterday in the wee hours was vomiting and moaning (meowing) in pain. We buried Duke in our front yard last night, and the atmosphere in the house has been a little heavy of late.
Cats and wakes make an odd combination.
