Sorry that your pet is reaching the end of the line. I have fond memories of all of my pets.

He's had a good long run.


His outlived his sibling and their children. He'll be 18 come spring [eligible for his "Barely Legal" spread].

Clyde is the last of a family of 6, 3 of whom reached that birthday. And, his sister, who died around this time in 2007 was more than 15 1/2.

My mom has never had a cat reach 16, though her current one might [looked real bad the last time I was down, but she was rallying quite a bit this visit.]

I'm grateful & lucky to have had him this long.
