I meant to write a sum-up-these-last-weeks post today, but fate had different plans.
Cornelius died last night, around 2.30 a.m. He was in my bed, and I think it was a heart attack. His heart was weak, and obviously the pills I'd been giving him for the last four weeks weren't enough. It was a quick death, and I was there -- other than dying peacefully in his sleep, it was the best way for it to happen.
I loved you, my big, cuddly bear. You were the most inelegant cat I've ever seen, not terribly clever and your eyesight wasn't too good. You were also the most emotionally intelligent, sweet-tempered cat ever. You raised Rambo and were his big mummy-uncle. I loved you very much and tried to make your life as good as possible.
Sleep in peace.
And now I'm crying again.
