DH away for the next month and tonight, one of our furbabies passed away suddenly. Our kitty Oliver was only a year old. I heard a horrible noise from upstairs and I went up there to find him just laying there. I called the after-hours line for our vet and I took him in. DH doesn't know yet. He's unreachable at the moment. Im not looking forward to telling him. The vet said it sounded like he ate something bad or he suffered from acute heart failure.

Our other kitty, Stanley, is following me around the house, meowing all sad. It breaks my heart. They were only 2 months apart in age and we've had them since they were kittens.

RIP, buddy. You'll be missed.
