There are a few comments like that in the local paper. I don’t have $1.2 million, but I will be leaving what I have to cats, as well. (No kids.)
I just figure a person works hard all their life and it is their money. I have known a few to “donate” it to a special building so their name is on it.. a legacy. If I didn’t have kids.. it would go to animals and orphans (the throw-aways that few care about). :)
I have a son, but he was raised to be responsible for his own life- so I will be leaving my money, whatever is left, to animal organizations as well. I just hope they don’t squander it, since most are run by liberals.
