NEWTON - Muriel Bayne’s love for her cats was well known on Staniford Street in Auburndale. Neighborhood children called her the “Cat Lady’’ and Bayne’s pets were often seen contentedly peering from a picture window at the small ranch house where she lived for decades.
But Bayne, 77, had a weak heart. And after her husband’s death in 2001, she started worrying about what would happen to her cats when she died. So she penned a will, leaving them the home and a $300,000 trust. Weeks later, Bayne’s heart gave out.
That’s how Shadow, Dolly, Lady, and Spot became trust fund cats.

A good reminder that Connecticut recognizes pet trusts. For more info, take a look at my previous post on the subject.
