I want to present you Norman. He's been with me for ages, my family adopted him 18 years ago, still a small kitten kitten, from a rescue.
He suffered an accident before being rescued, and one of his hind legs had to be amputated. No one wanted him. So home with us he came.
He grew up to become the boss of the house. Took a habit of staying with me for hours when I was busy studying or programming at a desk, sleeping inside my sweatshirt.
When I moved out, I left him with my parents. Came back to visit him (and them, and the other cats!) every week.

In the last months, he started suffering from some health related issues. We had him checked, didn't seem anything fatal.
Until last night.
See, last week I couldn't go back to find my parents. Had to urgently bring one of the cats I have here to the vet.
No biggie, sometimes I skip I week.
Yesterday in the morning I got a call from my mother. She told me they had to euthanize Norman.
He had sudden and very serious complications during the night. They went to our local vet. I'll spare you the details, but he was suffering too much for them to wait. 2/...
