A week ago I had to let my sweet kitty 'Jasper' go. We tried everything, but the cancer had progressed too far, and his system just couldn't hold on any longer. It was time. He went peacefully in my arms, with a smile on his face. He meant a great deal to me, and I miss him terribly.
Prior to this, I had left off after making my self sim in game, pondering whether or not I should make Jasper too. I finally decided to go ahead and do it, at least he can "live" again in my game with me. I had a little trouble trying to make the brown tabby fur, but I'm fairly pleased with the results.
