Farewell, sweet boy....

Yesterday our sweet cat, Sebastian, died suddenly. He was only 6 years old. My husband and I found him lying on our dining room floor. He appeared to be sleeping, but he must have had a sudden and massive heart attack. Just a few hours before he had been running around the house, playing with our other cat.
I don't have too many photos of Sebastian because he started life out as a feral cat and never got over his shyness enough to totally trust us, even though he made tremendous progress over the years. He was very suspicious of the camera.
We are going to miss our sweet boy and are grateful for the time we had with him.

Sad for your loss, but it seems like he didn't suffer. A really nice parting photo.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sebastian's passing. Not only a loss to you and your family, but what a shock to have that happen at such a young age. This capture is a great tribute to your boy, though.

So sorry for your loss. Only six years old! We are very attached to our cat, so I can only begin to understand how you feel. Take care!

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. What a horrible shock that must have been. And only 6 years old. One wonders why this happened after he seemed so well (playing and running around). This is so sad. I have to go and hug my cats now. I love your photo though, as it seems to represent him going into the light. V
