To be honest, he didnt look all that great when we got him almost 4 years ago at the age of 14. We didnt expect him to last this long, but hopefully he has appreciated the retirement home with the catio and the windowsill bed. He never did warm up to us enough to allow pets. A true rescue cat this one was.. will not be getting a new one for quite awhile - my fiance would like her closet / craft room back, and we have 2 other cats that will be happy to be able to use the outdoor space thats been reserved for him. Im glad the warm weather has come back in time for him to catch a few last rays, smells and sounds out there. RIP in advance, Forest.

(6,587 posts)who passed several months ago at age 24. They get that "look" that you recognize as the beginning of the end. I hope he goes to sleep and drifts off into the land of eternal sunshine. I miss my old boy so much and I know you will miss him. Dear Forest, goodnight.
