Tom Tom isn't the only pet to find his days numbered after an owner shuffles off this mortal coil.
You are old. You live alone. You suffer a heart attack. You cannot raise the alarm. You die. That, unfortunately, is the way that many people in the rich world shuffle off this mortal coil.
Once you’ve shuffled off this mortal coil and stopped enjoying the many uses of bamboo, you can spend the rest of your days six feet under in it.
