What not to say

Things not to say to your new co-worker when she announces that her cat has just passed away:

• "Well at least you didn't have to put her down."
• "Feline HIV? Wow. How did she catch that? I thought that just affected the homo cats."
  
• "When my cat dies, I just won't be able to handle it. I'll like, have to take a week off from work. In fact, that's partly why I adopted a dog!"
• "I know how you feel. The guy that used to sit at that desk just died. Maybe it's cursed!"
  
• Guilty silence while watching own youtube video of own healthy, living cat

I'm guilty of at least 3 of the above. No I won't tell you which ones, you just have to guess.
