I got a call from home last night. One of our two cats has cancer and it's pretty advanced. The vet says he may have a few days and we may be putting him down soon. He's been in poor health for a week or so and I've been preparing for bad news. He doesn't seem to be in much pain, though I know cats tend to hide it. Still, he's had a good full life, about as good as any cat could ask for.
