Interesting to read all of the methods for determining the health of the cat at the time of death.

Sadly, the "pathologies in the skeleton suggest that the cat from Dzhankent had a physically challenging life."

The good news is that people cared about this cat, "They carefully cared for and tended to this animal throughout its life, providing high quality food and medical care."

That said, the funeral for the animal was "expedient" in that it was basically left in a dump or "midden" (new word to me) at the end.

It is some comfort realizing how entirely human it is to care for cats. Though, it is also possible cat toxoplasma has just been incredibly effective.
