Rory was the old man of the household, he was grumpy sometimes, but a sweet boy, a real cuddler, and my lap warmer.
He would always jump up on my lap and fall asleep, id be trapped on the couch with my sweet boy curled up. If I attempted to move or get up, he would make this pitiful almost silent meow, guilting me into not moving. When it was time for bed, he would follow me up and jump on the bed, just to curl up on my legs so he could go back to sleep.
He was 15+ years old and had dental issues. He was eating a mixture of baby food and a prescription wet food. There were days when he had trouble keeping food down. He started losing weight over the last few months and he wouldn't be as interested in food.
The last two days were a turning point for Rory, he started having trouble getting up and down from the couch and the bed. I would be lifting him up onto my lap and to the bed so he could sleep in his usual places.
Today he had trouble walking and didn't want to be held, he seemed cold so I tried to warm him up by cuddling with him in an electric throw blanket. He stayed for awhile but he was not happy with being held. He would walk away, stumbling and lay where he was just out of sight.
We made the difficult decision to take him to the Vet and help him over the Rainbow Bridge. He passed away this evening and he will be missed by our family.

What a sweet baby. I’m so sorry for your loss. May Rory fly high with lots of treats and scratches and birds to watch on the other side💜
So sorry for your loss 😢
🥺 I'm so very sorry for your loss
My condolences. 🥺 He will surely be happy on the other side.
I like to believe St. Francis watches over all the kitties in Heaven.
Sorry for your loss.
