He gave his last cries at half past six this morning.

"When you sit close to a cat you know well, and put your hand on him, trying to adjust to the rhythms of his life, so different from yours, sometimes he will lift his head and greet you with a soft sound different from all his other sounds, acknowledging that you are trying to enter his existence. He looks at you with those eyes of his that continualy adjust to changes in light, you look at him, hand resting lightly. - The Passing of El Magnifico" Doris Lessing

He was more or less himself on Saturday, hoovering up a dish of mussels and jumping onto and sleeping on the bed. Drinking lots of Evian of course from an ancient small porcelain bowl he found just the right size.

On Monday he stopped eating and going outside opting instead for flopping around and keeping close. He was soft and friendly, keeping up appearances, right to the end. His sunshine will follow me for all of my days.
