R.I.P. Danté

Danté in Jacksonville, FL

My cat, Danté, was euthanized on my order yesterday (Tuesday, 8/18/20) and passed away peacefully at 4:00 PM EST.  He had contracted a serious disease, likely cancer, and his quality of life was declining.  He spent his last night watching television with me in his usual place - on the footrest of my recliner between my feet - until 1:30 AM.  When I turned the TV off, he hopped off and led the way up to bed, where he assumed his customary position on the bed next to me.

This is Zeus, a tuxedo cat.  He's always dressed for dinner.  Isn't he a handsome fellow?

Zeus

Zeus originally belonged to my brother, Bob, who dropped him off with Mom when he headed out to Wisconsin.  Mom liked Zeus and wouldn't give him back.  Now I'm stuck with him.
