 abstract={Disease, aging, physical suffering and death are natural elements of life, common to both human and non-human animals. At the same time, an animal’s death is an experience to which humans, due to their limited ability to communicate with it, have limited access. This article, based on ethnographic research among companion animals’ caretakers, analyzes the cultural aspects of palliative care for a pet, with particular emphasis on the impact of the terminal disease on the specificity of human-animal relationships and the potential analogies and differences between the experience of disease and death of a close pet and a close person. The paper is an attempt at a multispecies ethnography, which involves extending the field of interest of anthropology to animals, understood as social actors, and their inclusion in the research process. I propose the concept of empathic pathographies as the central analytical category; that is, human narratives about the animal experience of illness and death.},
