Woodbury Rand, cat lover
When Boston attorney Woodbury Rand died in 1944, he left $40,000 to his cat Buster. Out of a $1,000,000 estate, that's not particularly unusual. But what made his will odd was that he disinherited anyone whom he felt hadn't properly appreciated Buster.
Buster was only 8 years old when Rand died, but he died the following year. Perhaps of a broken heart?
