There is a typhoon in my area now and the power is out. I'm not sure when it will come back but things are getting out of hand, with no power for possibly days and my cat just died from old age, I don't know what to do.

Yikes, best of luck to you. I assume you are sending this from a smartphone, save your battery. Check back in after the storm to let us all know you are safe.

I am in a city and other than power failure its not really dire or life threatening... The wind and rain appears to have died down

Sorry to hear about your cat, I just lost my old dog 6 months ago, and I'm just getting
over it. But if he/she died of old age, at least you had some good times together...

Best of luck with the power situation.

Update: Power just came back on. The cat is in the freezer until I can get it cremated at the city animal welfare office...

Typhoon, the supreme wind. Sorry about your cat but I'm sure you provided him a good life. Wish you well my friend.
