Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. Mikkel, you made me cry (in a good way).
Here are some pics of Tenshi on his fifteenth birthday, last year.
I looked for him on the couch this morning, in his usual spot, when I gave the other cats their treats. Last night I woke up and cried because I rememberd that now I’ll never get a chance to get video of his sweet trick where he’d stick his paw under your hand when it was resting on a table, and stuff his head under it for petting. I’d been meaning to, but figured I could always do it later. And now I can’t.
