RIP: Wee Cal (2000 2008)
"Wee Cal"
Caligula
March 2000 - April 2008 (Kidney failure)
Cal was one of the last batch of kittens my cat had before I managed to get her spayed in early 2000. Following the loss of Wee Steev, the kitten I'd given my gran the previous year to some kind of localised black hole, I brought Wee Cal to keep her company, which he did through thick and thin, being by her side during her strokes and related illnesses. Refusing to leave her other than for quick potty stops in the neighbours flower-beds.
Last week it appears that Cal was involved in some kind of accident while on his rounds, possibly being hit by a car, that left him with internal injuries. After a few trips to the vet it was decided he was beyond veterinary help and the decision was taken this weekend to put him to sleep.
Sadly it appears my cat has outlived all her kittens, as far as we can tell. Cal will be sorely missed, not least by my gran, no matter what she might feign otherwise.
