Unexpected Loss

Our sweet baby Machen, whom we have raised since he was a kitten, passed away today. This was very unexpected and horrible. I mean, we knew something was wrong with him, but we didn't expect it to end this way.

He was a rambunctious kitten. He often drove us crazy. I knew it was just kitten stuff though. I assumed he would grow into a lazy, happy, comfortable adult cat. Now I'll never know.

I'm heartbroken about this. It's never easy to lose a pet. I loved him so much. Now all I have are memories and pictures.
