Thanks for letting us know. Sad news to lose someone who is such an advocate of cats and has helped advance their medical care in so many ways. I've used the Cornell Feline Hotline and they helped me thru a difficult decision with one of my cats.

What a terrible loss! **GLOWS** to all who loved him. May he be guided by a pure light to the Bridge where he will undoubtedly be greeted with a chorus of thundering purrs!
