Sorry to hear the news Nathan.
Must have been hard for you as the family was not there.

Our own Mitz the cat will probably not be long either, same generation, and real sick now :-(

> Our beloved kitty Taco is not with us anymore. This week he stopped eating and was basically just sleeping all the time, or sitting under the table. I took him to the vet Thursday afternoon. She examined him and gave him an anti-inflammatory injection in case it was just some garden variety illness. But he deteriorated further yesterday, and so at 5 p.m. I took him back to the vet for a blood test. About 1 1/2 hour later the verdict came. Taco’s kidneys were failing completely and he had only days to live. There was really only one possible decision, but I could not make it on my own. My wife is in Colorado visiting our son, and my daughter is in Cardiff, so after a conference call during which the family decided, I called the vet and said that I was coming with Taco. Just before leaving home, I made a quick video of Taco with my phone—Monica wanted to see her kitty alive one last time...
