shroder just passed away

So sorry for your loss, I think we must all know how hard it is to lose a
beloved cat, or any pet, but yourknee does feel particularly empty
when you lose a lap cat, condolences, and hugs, Jean.P.

Last night, when I went to bed, Shroder was fine. This morning he was in
the closet, where he never goes. He came out and laid around all day. We
took him to the vet at 2:00 pm, and then the vet called shortly after we
got home. He had passed away. The vet said he had Hypertrophic
Cardiomyopathy. In other words, he had an undiagnosed heart disease, and
apparently had a heart attack and died.
We are, to say the least, in shock.
How shocking for you. I am so sorry. I remember you writing about
Shroder. I hope you can take comfort that he did not suffer a long
illness. Believe me, keeping yourself very, very busy helps against
the bereft feeling. I lost my beloved Amber in August. Even with three
cats, I still am lonely for Amber. My sympathy and understanding to
you. Purrs,

Thanks to all of you, it is rather lonely around here, even though
we still have another cat. Shroder, however, was a person cat, he
used to jump up on my lap for attention, and would always come
up on the bed with my wife and I at bedtime, and a time or two
during the night, he would come around and wake us with his purring.
Plus, he always woke me up in the morning, my own alarm cat.
Thanks again
