It is with deep sorrow that I share that Kitty has passed away at 18 years old. Shortly after I posted about him a month ago, he took a bad turn. He had a seizure and went over the 🌈 bridge Tuesday. Thank you for all the joy you gave. You are deeply missed my cuddle bug.😢💔 #caturday #catsofbluesky
Kitty, who passed away this week at 18 years old.
