Malloc is now free

Malloc, my beloved cat passed away this morning aged 17.5 years at 4am BST on the 3rd of June 2025. He passed away peacefully in his sleep while at the vet being treated.

I saw him one last time yesterday afternoon before hoping a new day may bring better results. He was coming out of being put under in preparation for surgery for a broken leg and I think he recognized me as he responded to his name and tried so hard to move just a bit in my direction. The operation could not go ahead. His kidneys were in failure. His heart was failing with it being enlarged to double the normal size.

I hope he had a good life. Nothing prepares you for this. It hurts. So much.

Malloc is now free().
