best. cat. ever.

My older cat, Puig, finally succumbed to his cancer, this weekend.  He'd been on medication for several weeks, which had at first restored him to at least a semblance of normal health.  But, as we knew it likely would, the cancer eventually became refractory to the meds.  Puig's condition began to noticeably deteriorate again about a week ago.  As of Friday night, he couldn't even stand up any more, and was making the most pitiful sounds.  By morning, there was just no denying it, so I called the vet and we agreed that it was time.

He went peacefully.

I'm so very sorry. He was a sweet old guy, and I know how much you love him.

I'm sad that he's no longer with us.

Yeah, he was pretty much The Best Cat Ever, to me. :)

You know, I had a dream, last night, in which I walked through my apartment finding Puig perched in one room, Gregor lounging in another. I guess that they're both now more or less permanent fixtures of my mental landscape.
