Unforutnately, towards the end of last week he had
difficulty swallowing.
We took him to a vet (as I mentioned some months back, a cat is about the
only thing I wouldn;'t try to repair myself), and he discovered he had
serious cancer in his mouth. He couldn't breate properly, and the vet
said there was nothing that could be done to help him.

It's hard losing any pet... speaking as someone who's had lost several
over the years...
I am seriously considering giving a home ot another
cat sometime. Not to
replace Pentina, you can't replace a cat. But a different friend to sit
on my service manuals, shed hairs in my disk drives, try to trip me up,
and so on.
I prefer the kind that are perfectly content to sit on your knee,
purring away. Though dogs have their own redeeming qualities... :)
We've got a chinchilla like that -- Millie. She hates coming out of the
cage, but once she's out, she's more than happy to cuddle up and go to
sleep. The other five (yes, *five*) are hyperactive, skittish.. and
generally won't sit still unless bribed to the point of excess.
