We have just lost Harry. I'm so glad both boys were here at the weekend and got a final chance to see him.

About 6 weeks ago he suddenly developed what turned out to be Idiopathic Vestibular Disease. It made him move like he was seriously drunk. After a couple of days he started to improve and after 4 weeks was almost back to normal. Then last Friday it came on again with a vengeance (the water bowl all over the floor was the start of it!)and he was struggling to get around as he was so dizzy but by Saturday he was so much better and by last night seemed almost normal again.
Late this morning I thought he was a little wobbly but he went outside and seemed ok, and then about an hour ago he suddenly started spasming. I brought him in and put him on his bed and then realised a few minutes later that he had gone. He didn't seem to be in any distress and looked very peaceful. I can only assume that the stress of it all took a toll on his heart bless him. He was 15 1/2.
First time our house has been without a cat for almost 32 years.
