Bon Tom asked:

What happened to Jimmy's cat? Not sure if I missed that part somehow. If it's clarified in the Dust, don't tell me:)

Herrholz Paul Yes Tracie I think you have it right there. This is really great writing in my opinion. He just drops in a subtle hint that the cat has died and is being buried without too much fuss made of the affair. But the effect is quite emotional and moving.
Tracie Simer It's implied in chapters 100 and 101 that the cat was being buried in the farm. I'm assuming he just died of natural causes, as natural as can be expected living in an abandoned silo.
Davo Coverdad Yes the cat dies of old age. Very moving passage in the story. Jimmy's path to becoming Solo.
