history: My cat died a few weeks ago. I'd had him for more than a decade. My ten-year-old cat died a few weeks ago. I still can't believe he's gone.
current: Im sorry to hear that. Tell me a fond memory you have of him/her.
next: Thanks. Whenever he wanted to come back into the house, he would call and I was the only person who seemed to hear him. I think we were connected, lol
