Yes, it's true, the Ark's crew has been reduced by one. After a short illness, and several days of refusing to eat, Minimus died yesterday. She was one of our first cats, so must have been quite old. We decided not to take her to the vet, he would have advised euthanasia, and we wanted her to die at peace, asleep in her bed, which she did yesterday evening. A touching sight was Phyllis licking the dying cat, as if to offer comfort. As soon as Minimus stopped breathing, Phyllis walked off...
She was a very small cat as her name implies, and a bit scatty, as if her minute head wouldn't hold much sense but she will be missed nevertheless. Her parting leaves us with a dozen cats, so the Ark is in no danger of being catless!
Bye for now, coffee is calling.
