So I had a joint bank account with Egg that, as of yesterday, is now solely mine. I was given the OK yesterday to assume ownership of it, and can do as I please with that money. I am now a decent sum of money richer. As a result, different people gave me suggestions as to what I could spend a (relatively) small sum of it on. Things like
What is a Cuddle Clone?
It is a plush pet custom designed to look like your cat or dog (or horse, bird, rabbit, etc.). A lot of people get them because they want to memorialise their dearly departed pet. You can get a pouch built into it to store their ashes, for instance, so it can function as an urn you can also snuggle with.
November 15th of 2024 we lost our Grey Lady. Our sweet and sassy girl Sadie. She was almost 17 years old which is pretty old for a cat, sweet and sassy and loving up until the very end when we thanked her for her unconditional love and helped her cross over. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. We love Sadie and always will.
Egg didn't love Sadie. She hated her, in fact. To Egg, Sadie was "that stupid cat" my wife had to bring along with her; because Sadie was Theresa's cat and she hated Terri, of course by extension she had no love for our Grey Lady.
When I was talking to Aleks and he was giving me some of the above suggestions, another one he mentioned was
When I brought it up, he cried. He cried because he too loved Sadie. Everyone who's ever met Sadie has loved her.
(Maybe if Egg actually met her, she would've thought different. She would've seen how sweet she was and loved her too. But Egg never had any desire to interact with Sadie at all when we would bring her down in her carrier on the way to a vet appointment. She largely ignored our sweet girl's existence.)
It won't be an exact replica, no. Sadie is a one of a kind cat there will never be another one of. But it would be really nice to be able to snuggle with something that represents her, at least. Something we can pet and stroke the "fur" of and coo at...
I hope Sadie pisses on Egg's shoes in the afterlife or leaves a particularly stinky shit for her.
Love you, Sadie girl. Always.
- Barnes and Noble shopping spree
- get a nice journal and a stationery set to use in it
- get something you've always wanted that isn't practical
- a Nintendo Switch 2 (not that you can find one)

"You should spend some of the money on something you love, but she hated."And that's when it hit me. The Cuddle Clone of Sadie.
