Benjamin: An English Gentleman's Thoughts

Goodbye, my beautiful man

We have such sad and sudden news this evening.
At about 11pm Benjamin came home, then started howling and staggering, before collapsing. He was breathing very fast and trying to give a loud rattly purr when I stroked him. I set off with him for the emergency vet but shortly before we arrived he began to moan, gave some rattly coughs, and he had passed away before we arrived.
The vet - and I - think it must have been his heart. He still looks so beautiful and healthy. He was 12 or 13, my lovely man, my ginger tom, and we'll miss him so badly. I know Boxie's special orange purrs will have been with him on his journey.
