One of our cats died last November, or at least I think he did. 20 years old, got scrawnier and scrawnier, stopped eating, started dragging around. Disappeared under my bed one night and I thought he had carked it. He eventually made it out to the back yard and was never seen again. To weak to climb the walls, he must be under the decking somewhere. And I am supposed to renew that this year. Great.
