TIFU At The Pet Crematory

r/

My husband’s and my aunt’s 19 year old cat passed away yesterday. Aunt is in a rehab facility after breaking her hip 3 months ago and needing surgery. She had these 2 cats, 1 of which she has had since it was a newborn. Long story short, she was working at these horse riding place for kids with disabilities, a mother cat had given birth and then died, all but this 1 kitten had died, she found it, then fed and kept it all its life.
Anyway, my husband and I decided we wanted to do something nice for her since we both knew how much she loved this cat.
By loved this cat, I mean she spoiled her and gave her an awesome life. The cat was friends with our 2 dogs (pit bulls) and was given the most expensive cat food money can buy.
We decided, instead of going with the standard urn, we were going to buy this pewter urn that was shaped like a cat for her. It was the most expensive one the crematory sold, but we thought she’d like it.
Fast forward to 3 hours ago. Aunt called us and my husband told her about the urn. She was not happy. She told us how we should have paid for a wooden box urn for her cat and that we were in the wrong. We told her we were thinking about her when we bought it.
Now, our aunt is mad at u.
TL; DR: Aunt’s cat died while she’s in rehab, we bought a fancy urn, and now she’s mad at us
