Thank you. He was a great companion to me as I was fixing classic computers.
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.

R.I.P. Pentina.
This alas is not a problem for me any more. Poor
Pentina passed away
yesterday. So I will no longer get fur in my keyboards and will no longer
had an orange xtrreak trying to trip me up when I'm carrying a CRT. I
really miss him already :-(
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, man. My sympathies. 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.
It's a good thing; kitties need good homes. It's true that Pentina
can never be replaced per se, but a different kitty can provide a
different kind of company while being given a much-needed home.
