He was only 11 months old. A major organ was involved and little could be done
but everything was tried. There was something about him that always seemed not
long for this world in spite of the fact that he appeared quite happy and
healthy until a few weeks ago. I lost another 13 year old cat at this time last
year and I still have an 8 year old. In 10 months I played with Tony more than
the other two in all the years put together. This is becuase Tony loved every
cat toy ever made, especially toy mice. He would go bananas when he would see
me open a fresh package of them. He would frequently bring them to me and fetch
them for hours. He had none of the usual cat traits of shyness or
standoffishness and loved everybody who walked in the door. It's a very sad
day.
