Bosco our beautiful blue-eyed flame-point Himalayan cat died this afternoon while we were out. We got him 13 years ago when he was just a kitten. The vets sent him home to die with us in January so we feel fortunate we got a few more months with him, spoiling him and taking very good care of him. He was the gentlest animal - he would never hurt another animal and he adored rabbits of course. I don't think he suffered although he lost so much weight it was heartbreaking to pick him up. I did make sure to hand feed him canned cat food with a spoon several times a day and I took him outside on the back patio every afternoon to get some sun and fresh air.
