Goodbye, Fergus

I'm sad to say that our cat Fergus died yesterday. It happened shortly before we arrived home, and it seemed as though it was pretty quick. Fergus had been living on borrowed time for almost two years, since he developed a blood clot and the first vet we took him to recommended euthanizing him (luckily, we got a second opinion). Except for the clot and a subsequent recurrence last year, Fergus was able to live a normal life up until the moment he died, and actually seemed healthier and happier since starting heart medication.

We got Fergus as a kitten, and he lived with us for almost twelve wonderful years before we lost him. He joins our other cat, Tiger (who died last year at age 20) in our memories and our hearts. We love you so much, my handsome boy.
