I am so heartbroken today. Last night our sweet tabby, Kedi, died very suddenly. Literally from one moment to the next he was gone, after being completely normal. He wasn't even 2 years old yet. We rushed to a 24 hr pet hospital - my husband ran about 9 red lights - but there was nothing to be done.

We have said goodbye to our cats before, but at ages 14 and 15. It's always gutting, but this has been a complete and utter shock.

We buried Kedi a little while ago, along with the ashes of 3 of our beloved kitties, under our crepe myrtle.

We woke up with this cat on our bed. He followed me to my yoga and exercise room and watched me work out (sometimes he joined me). He spent the whole day in my office with me, sometimes sitting behind me on my chair. He snuggled next to whomever sat on the left side of the sofa in front of the fire and TV. Then he went to back to our bed to sleep with us every night. he was the most adorable cat I've ever known.

This one is going to take a while to process. Thanks for being out there, my friends. I'm too upset to even look at the photos on my phone. I'll update with some sweet ones when I feel better.
