8/27 Lanky AMPS 370, PMPS 290

Yesterday's Condo



Morning - Yesterday, Lanky's oldest brother, Otis, passed away. He was almost 19 years old. Dad & I buried him this morning and said our farewells. Lanky came by and truly had the saddest look on his face. Two things that Otis always did that I especially loved are:
1) Meow by smacking his lips but not not make any meow sounds, just smack, smack, smack. It meant he was very happy.
2) When Dad or I would be sitting on the couch, Otis would come lay on the armrest putting one of his paws on your shoulder. It was like making contact makes everything better.

So sad we are and so happy to have had Otis in our lives.

You'll note Lanky's BGs went whack-o yesterday. I could not believe the 103 at +2.5. That really scared me with so much of the cycle to go. So out came the HC food all of which Lanky ate so I could take care of Otis. I am curious to see what today's cycle brings. Needless to say, we are just taking it easy for the rest of the day.

Hug all of your kitties for us today too!

19 years is a long time but it's just never enough time. I am so sorry for your loss. Otis was a beautiful boy. Give Lanky a hug for me and I will certainly give my kitties a hug in Otis' memory.

((((Susan)))) I'm so sorry. I think the ones who have been with you so long are the hardest to let go.

All the kitties here have gotten an extra hug. Fly free, sweet Otis... wings_cat
