Hug your pets and human loved ones.

Today, my girlfriend went to a cat-sitting visit and noticed that the feline—Colonel Mustard—had not moved from the position on the floor that he was in the night before. The cat’s breathing was normal, though he wouldn’t eat or drink.

Faith called the cat’s owner, who said that her flight was scheduled to land at noon. So, Faith stayed with the cat. Sadly, the Colonel took his last breath just before 12pm.

Life is short & precious. Don’t forget to say “I love you” to family and friends (and pets).
