We lost our cat last night. That's him there, and in the DW icon (just saying, you may see a lot of Harold in a HAT instead for a while), and I may dig a kitten photo out later and edit it in.

We're not 100% sure what killed him, but the 24-hour vet thinks it was likely antifreeze. It was pretty horrible; I just hope he lost awareness early on. We'll be in shock for a while, finding evidence around the house, getting hit with it again. He'd been sick earlier in the week, most likely because of something entirely different, which I think prepared me a little, but not enough; he was better, dammit, and he was only 10. He had extra toes, and he tried very hard to speak words, and he chewed on our bed to wake us up and caught snakes and played with straws and snuggled magnificently. We'll miss him so much.
