On "Gilmore Girls", which animal had a wake that most of the town attended?

On “Gilmore Girls,” Cinnamon the cat is the animal whose wake is attended by much of Stars Hollow.

Cinnamon belongs to Babette Dell and Morey Dell, Lorelai’s neighbors. When the elderly cat dies, Babette is devastated, and the event becomes a full community gathering rather than a private family farewell. Lorelai even cancels plans so she can attend and support Babette.

The wake is a memorable early example of Stars Hollow’s unusual but sincere communal spirit. Residents bring food, drinks, music, and stories, treating Cinnamon’s death with the same emotional seriousness they might give a human neighbor’s passing. The gathering also gives the episode its title, “Cinnamon’s Wake.”

Viewers sometimes remember the event simply as Cinnamon’s funeral, but the show specifically frames it as a wake. Cinnamon is also easy to confuse with other pets mentioned in the series; this is Babette and Morey’s beloved cat, not an animal owned by the Gilmore family.
