Tonight Ben decided that he was tired and it was time to go. A couple weeks ago, he started having problems with his heart. During the day today, he was having trouble breathing and didn't want to eat this morning.
The rest of the cats spend the day taking turns laying with him on the bed. Tonight, I found him next to the door of the outdoor cat enclosure. The vet tech was supposed to come over in the morning to put him to sleep. He beat her to it.
Thank you all so much for your help these past three (almost) years. Without your advice and support, I wouldn't have had this extra time with him. He was always my best buddy and doing the sugar dance made us even closer. I'm not sure what I will do now that I don't have to wake up at 5 am.
To those of you who are just starting, it is really worth it. The people here will support you and help you in ways that you can not imagine. But don't hold on to tightly when your sugar cat is ready to go. Sometimes the greatest gift is the gift of freedom.
