We brought Mickey home last night with an IV drip. He had a rough night and had been deteriorating. This morning, under the vet's advice, we had him put to sleep. As miserable as he was, we managed to get one last purr from him before the end. We're just devastated. He was the sweetest, friendliest cat, even (especially) to strangers. Our lives are so much richer for having known him and so much emptier for having lost him.

We love you, Mickey.
