William passed away early this morning. He fought a good fight against a really bad disease. I know he's in a better place with no pain now. I'm incredibly heartbroken but I know at the nd of the day it'll all be alright.
William fought a good fight and we did all that we could. It was a perfect storm of an unknown liver ailment that caused the liver to swell, an infection, and a heart condition. In the end, he curled up around his favorite stuffed baby cat and slipped peacefully away in his sleep. We might have been more aggressive in his treatment, but I don't know that he would have survived any longer with another course of action. He was a good cat who gave me a lot of good memories. Perhaps some day soon I'll adopt another cat and give them the same chance that William had. All cats deserve a chance at a good life and with William I made it the best that I could. That's all that I can ask for in the end.
