Tough Issue: Death of a cat

An inventive use of black and white art to show an older cat and new kitten making friends, living together, and generally being best buddies.

I...almost cried at the reference desk when the old cat goes away and never comes back but I held my sh*t together. Great for a gentle discussion about death, grieving, and growing.
