It is with great sadness that I relay the news of Cuca's passing. He was just running around on the cat tree being silly as usual, then about 15 minutes later he went into acute heart failure. He "threw a clot" which lodged between his aorta and femoral arteries, cutting off the blood supply to his back legs. There was nothing that could be done, he was in great pain, so he was euthanized. He was only 7 and had shown no signs of disease, but apparently that's not too uncommon for cats. I will miss him greatly, even if he was a super brat at times, and I know Nitro and Mini Mew will miss him too. He and Mini were really close. I used to say "He's just a tabby" but in actuality he had the most personality of any cat I have had. I don't think there will be another quite like Cuca.
