We said goodbye to our boy Theo today. At almost 19 he did pretty well. As I said to the vet today, everything from his waist up was still working fine, but his back legs and digestive tract betrayed him in the end.
When we lost his sister in 2008 we learned that being an only cat suited him just fine. He’s always been a little neurotic, jealous of any attention lavished on other creatures that weren’t him. He was happy to have us to himself. He was a clingy cuddly furball. Always up for lap time to the point where we got him a heated bed so he would settle and not cry constantly when we weren’t doing his bidding.
We’ll miss him forever.
He was mostly either asleep or moving too fast for a camera, but here are some pictures.
Showing his personality even as a baby. All the way on the left, latched on.
His sister wasn’t so bad when they were little.
Hanging out
Sitting in boxes not big enough for him
Too fast for the camera
Just a few days ago in his heated window seat
