He had a good run.

My brother had to have his cat put down yesterday. Sammie was a naughty kitty, and that's why we loved him. He was so tiny when I first met him, back in '95 when I first moved out here. He got to be a huge old blob, then recently he was mostly skin and bones anymore. Anyway, I miss him.

I'm so sorry! Tell Noah he has my best wishes.

I know how much that sucks.

Thank you. We're doing pretty well with it, I think. It wasn't in any way sudden - he has really been going for at least six months, and we thought we were going to lose him a few years ago (he ended up having nearly all of his teeth removed) and it was obvious from that point that he was living on borrowed time. But I'm glad we did what we could to make his life good and to minimize his suffering in the end. He really didn't want to go in the end - he just wanted to feel better, but that was beyond what we could provide for him.
