The widow's former assistant said that the cats were like children to her. Now this woman is taking care of one of the cats, Tiger. The other furry cat, Troy, is currently living with the second assistant, Frey-Wauters.

It is known that after the cats' deaths, the remaining amount will go to the only family member, her sister in the Netherlands. Another three million dollars were divided between the woman's two assistants, charitable organizations, and lawyers.
