I came out of my room and he was lying in front of my door , he’d pooped himself and was having seizures. So we rushed him down to the vet.
He’s been there for most of my life :cry:

I'm sorry. *hugs* It must be hard to lose a beloved pet. I wish you and your family healing from the grief.

Sorry to hear that.
It's sad when pets pass away.

I’m glad I hadn’t left for work yet or he’d been alone when the seizures started. My family was out running errands.

Yes, it is better to be with loved ones when they pass.

Well, that sucks. But at least he lived for NINETEEN YEARS - that sounds like a good long lifespan for a cat to have enjoyed!
