Run Free Totoro!

My cat Totoro never went anywhere without his toy. It looked just like him.

Some of his best poses...

 Cat by the window, the better to look at flowers and feel the breeze...

 Cat sleeping by the door, the better to catch the breeze right off the bat, at dawn...

 Cat sleeping on the coffee table, head anywhere at all...

 Cat on a new couch. Its mine if you please!

The superman pose- his favourite one of all

My cat Totoro went to the bridge this very evening, at about 7 or so. He was in an oxygen tent for 2 whole days, his breathing laboured and his lungs full of fluid. He persevered with me for 8 days before he said goodbye with his head on my hand..softly meowing. I told him it was okay and that I would see him tomorrow and brushed his fur, which he liked mostest of all. I gave him some water and then quick as lightning he turned to face the wall and went limp. He was 7 years and 6 months.

They tried to resuscitate him (the 2nd time in 2 days) but I knew that he was gone. 

No more pain Totoro and no more needles and doctors and groomers and all that nonsense! Run Free! Thank you  Fern for helping me throughout this time and also cat_aunty and dell and everyone else who wished us well.

We are taking a break from blogging for a bit.
