I got two cats, Gaea and Lao, littermates, in 1992. Yesterday was Lao's last day on Earth. He had been diabetic for nearly three years and had kidney difficulties as well. The veterinarian said his heart probably gave out. (Gaea is doing well.)
It was a reasonably swift end, as these things go. Only last night, as was his custom, he hopped onto the bed to snuggle up to me and let loose a mighty purr. It was his favorite thing. (That's him as a kitten on the right, scanned from one of those old-fashioned "photograph" thingies.)
His second favorite thing was napping in the sun.
He had a good run. I'll miss him.
