Leo “Mr Bignose” Cat, ~2005 - 2010

KittyGhost

Our cat Leo had a heart attack this morning, and after grimly hanging on for about 5 hours finally died in my arms at around 3pm. The last picture I took of him was when I was trying to get pictures of the snowstorm last week and he poked his snoot in to see what I was doing.

In the grand scheme of things, it’s probably better to have your cat just die than it is to have her slowly die over the course of two years from cancer, but it’s still a horrible thing to have a cat who was galloping around the house at 4am be dead and in the ground 12 hours later.

You have my sympathies. A cat is the spirit of a home.

I’m so sorry.

I’m sad I only got to know Leo from pictures - but pictures are better than not having got to know him at all. I’m sorry.
