My cat died tonight

   We think he was about twelve.   He was the third cat I'd owned, a big grey & black striped tabby with a white chest and paws (I'm not much of a picture poster, sorry) and was the second cat in my life who had adopted me from our street.   He had developed an abdominal tumor very rapidly last month and we'd been nursing him with medication for several weeks.   Tonight he seemed to be feeling especially badly, shaky on his feet and unable to eat.   We knew it was probably time, and brought him in to a good local pet hospital who put him to sleep.   He died remarkably well, and had a wonderful, healthy and happy life.

My roommate and I will miss him in our lives terribly but are so grateful for the gift that he was.   Here's to all cats, alive and passed.
