Sparta aka Mean Kitty has died

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I remember that first video - one of the best early cat videos.

This is exactly what happened to my cat Jeoffry just one month ago. I knew that's what it was, an aortic thromboembolism, as soon as he described the symptoms, and the outcome was just the same for Jeoffry. It comes on very suddenly, usually as a result of a heart condition that's probably gone unnoticed, and most of the time nothing can be done. It's a terrible shock when it happens.

RIP, Sparta.
