Dolores Herbig is a pathetic character. Her obsession with her cat just proves that she has nothing and no one in her life to care about her. the only reason George was there was to use the cat's "burial" to get rid of Cameron.
I wonder if it comforted her to know that if she died, alone in her apartment with Murray, that he'd just wind up eating her corpse?
Yes, Dolores is a caricature and probably a satirical construct of the type of person who is really too attached to her pets. However, one cannot ridicule the love she feels for her animals. I don't consider myself a pathetic person, and I would NOT act like Dolores, but I am definitely a softy for beloved pets. Losing our loved pets is pretty traumatizing, and can be nearly as much as losing loved ones who are human. Say what you may about Dolores being pathetic (she very well may be), your cynicism about people's love for their pets shows a lack of compassion or at least empathy for the feelings of others.
