On September 13th 2010 at 12:26 PM, my beloved cat Merlin passed away.

I went to go check on him, and I found him staring at the jade Buddha I put next to him for some form of comfort minutes before this happened. He didn't move at all. His eyes were fixed on Buddha. I touched his chest and sensed no movement. So, I got my mom and my brother and they both pronounced him as deceased.
