You know the cartoons where the cat goes splat on the door? Well, that's what this looked like. The cat tried to get back out the closed door. When one of the FOB's got in far enough, I yanked.

Kathy (my vet - who has since retired) told me that by infusing him a couple of times a week and feeding him a special diet, I might be able to extend his life by a couple of years. You see, my favorite kitty was diagnosed with kidney disease about five and a half years ago. But, now he's afraid he's going to have to deal with that pesky needle again. Before he started getting stabbed on a regular basis, he'd come when you called. Petting Georgeous is like stroking velvet.
