Fudd passed away unexpectedly yesterday in the waiting room at the vet's office. He had just had an exam a week ago and seemed to be in wonderful shape, especially considering his age. He did show some hyperthyroidsim in the test results that came back this week and had just begun medication for it. However it takes some time for the medication to really have an effect and before it could he began going downhill very fast - over the past 24 hours or so, becoming lethargic and losing his famous appetite. We're not sure of the exact cause.
Fudd was adopted as an adult cat and was always affectionate, unassuming, gentle, and just a tad mischievous. He was a great friend to Bear and Cole, and especially to Cole during his illness. He will be hugely missed.

i'm so sorry - he was a beautiful cat.
Oh my gosh...sorry for your loss. He looked like a fun friend to have around.
Thank you everyone - I appreciate your condolences, and thanks for coming by.
I know how hard it is. I lost my cat in - hard to believe - early January, after 15 years. Soon I'll be getting another one from the animal rescue people but Webster will be a hard act to follow.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thanks K.
