We found him laying next to his bed this morning. He had lymphoma. I knew his time was coming, and was planning to take him in for euthanasia next week, but now we've been spared that difficult trip at least.
He was a sweet and patient cat. He taught my daughter about proper cat handling, being gentle and patient when she was a baby and toddler and was too young to understand, then becoming increasingly firm as she grew into preschool age.
He was both buddy and boss to our dogs. I remember putting him in the garage one night to sleep with the dogs (each dog weighs 50 pounds) because the animals kept waking our little one, and in the morning finding him stretched across both dog beds while they attempted to share his cat bed with each other.
We buried him in the yard next to Petey, the dog who raised him from a kitten.
It's been a hard day.
He was the last of our four tuxedo cats. The last of all of our cats. Over the past five years, we have lost all five of our cats. They all had good long lives, but I still have a hole in my heart from their loss.
Goodbye sweet boy, play happily over the Bridge. Have fun once again wrestling and snuggling with your old tuxedo buddies. I know you missed them.
