R.I.P. little buddy

Aw, man.....

I call one of our cats "Little Buddy" because he always followed me around and sat on my feet when he was younger.

When we got him (and his brother), he was dinky small with very weepy eyes.
He's also got a kind of bum hind leg and recently scratched a blood vessel in his ear while we were battling ear mites which caused the cartilage to become detached from the skin and heal in a "cauliflower" way.

He's 10 now and it will be particularly unsettling when his time comes.

Condolences.
