Two days ago Ruperto was sick after his breakfast and spent most of the day quietly in the cat apartment. Next morning he didn’t appear at the terrace door when I opened up. Since our return a week ago today he’d be there before I got the door unlocked, rolling on the mat delighted to see me. Later that morning he came out and drunk water which I took to be a good sign. In the afternoon I couldn’t see him in the apartment, we keep the door fastened slightly open so only cats can enter. I searched the house and garden he was nowhere to be seen. Today I opened the apartment door and he was there right at the back tucked under the pillows, he was dead.
It’s shocking that he died so quickly after surviving 5 months without us. We didn’t even have a week with him when we returned but we did give him lots of love and the best care we could during his short life. We are so sorry this has happened.
