Sad day for me

My pretty orange kitty that loved my current Grannies and Ripples afghan that I was making died yesterday. He had kidney failure and we were expecting him to pass, just not this soon.



We had another kitty before we rescued him that died of kidney failure. She showed many advanced signs of the disease for a few weeks. Ted, our orange kitty, didn't. Just the day before he was his normal self, running and playing, and yelling at me. :) But when I woke up yesterday morning, he couldn't move. So I just held him until he passed away in my arms.



We are a heartbroken family right now. Our pets are our family members, and we just said goodbye to a very handsome boy.
