Morning watch, 5 bells (6:45 am)
My cat, Mr. Pookies, passed away suddenly last night. Lorien called me around half past midnight last night in tears.
He was my best buddy and I miss him terribly. He was only about 5 years old. We don't know why it happened. He was eating fine, wasn't sick or hurting anywhere. I picked him up and played with him Sunday morning before I left for San Francisco and he was his usual (somewhat gruff) self. Now he won't be waiting for me when I return.
