My wife and I traveled off-continent last year for nearly a month while our 17-year-old cat was ill and clearly dying – to the point that she stayed rooted in one (high) place. I put up a camera to monitor how she was doing and to speak to her. The camera stayed up for another week or so after we got home, until her suffering finally persuaded us to pull the plug. I saved a few of the videos, including the one when we arrived home from our trip, and the very poignant scene of the empty space after she was gone.
The camera has now sat for over a year, unplugged and entirely forgotten. (We do still remember the cat!)
