On Friday we learned our cat, who has visited Writing Slowly several times, has a terminal illness, with just weeks to live.

I’m deeply sad. He has been my close companion through years of working from home. To discover I could feel this way about a cat is a harsh gift, but a gift all the same.

So very sorry!

@writingslowly All the sympathies, he has similar colors and expressions as ours. As someone who had only dogs for most of my life, I’ve been happily surprised how our cats crawl into my heart.

@writingslowly Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this. Our love for our animals is very real and deep.

@cogdog Thanks. 'how our cats crawl into my heart.' - that's very true

@Miraz Thak you and yes, it is very real

@tracydurnell thanks - he’s spending his last few days being pampered by our family
