FOR THE CAT WHO CHOSE YOU

A Memorial Star for the Cat You Lost

The lap they claimed. The keyboard they occupied. The worst chair they loved. And now: a star.

They chose you

Cats settle for nothing — they choose. Your lap. Your keyboard. The least comfortable chair in the house. Anyone who has been chosen knows: that was not “just a cat,” that was a relationship you earned. Some will say “it was just a cat.” They were never woken at five in the morning by a cat standing on their chest, insisting breakfast was late. A memorial doesn’t need to be grand — it can simply be somewhere real to go: a star you can look up and see.

Chosen by the moment they said goodbye

You enter the time and place they said goodbye; we compute the zenith of that instant — the point directly overhead — and from the HYG catalog (107,838 real stars) return the real, still-unnamed star nearest that point. The same inputs always give the same star, and the coordinates speak astronomy’s common language — verify them in any sky-chart app.

What you receive

A star record: traceable IDs (HIP / Gaia), J2000 coordinates, distance and spectral type · a 3D return to the sky of that final night · a downloadable certificate · and a memorial space that is private by default. One tier, $19.99 — no hidden upsells.

We can’t tell you where they are now.

But we can show you the star that was above them when they said goodbye.
