Our sweetie has passed away on Christmas night

He was so silly and funny, he suddenly collapsed at at midnight we rushed to the veterinary where we discovered he had been living with a heart condition and a blood clot had blocked his vains which made him numb. He was crying and dragging himself across the floor. My husband and I cried so hard, but letting him go in peace was the best thing we could do. He passed away in our arms, and with his last energy he cuddled me and rested his head on my arm. He went out peacefully like a candle slowly burning up... Our other cat keeps crying and searching for him. We had no idea that he had a heart condition, the last 9 years and a half he was so alive and healthy. He looooved to eat chicken. He played with his brother and our dogs. I woke up this morning and I was hoping that it was all just a bad dream but he's gone. I hope you guys will appreciate these sweet pictures that capture the silliness of our sweet distinguished gentleman Filemon... merry Christmas everyone...
