doubleofive's tabby reminded me of my Cat Oscar. We had to have him put to sleep this time last year because of cancer which was causing him a lot of pain. Lots of visits to the vets and operations but it was no good. Hope euthanasia of humans is finally legal when I get like that, it's a more dignified way to go IMO. I was looking at the spot on the couch he liked to curl up in the other day. Not sure how old he was because he was from a cat sanctuary.
Here he is chillaxing in front of our wood burning stove...
