I hadn't the heart or mental capacity for a long time to post about Garfield. I'll post some details at the end (from when I posted on Facebook) but he died as a result of complications from cancer. He was my best friend and it was a double blow after Chester's decline and death from the year before.

My husband wanted a companion for Garfield (when he was alive) and we adopted Chloe (gray and white). After Garfield died, we adopted Penny (red and white). Chloe is in some ways like Garfield - long body, bigger ears, longer tail and likes to climb. Penny is more like Chester but a little sassy and she likes to sit on our chests. Both are retired breeding cats from where we got Chester. Penny was born there and I can't help wonder if she's related to Chester - especially looking at her ringed red tail!

Garfield story is continued below (caution - very sad).

Garfield - continued from aboveThe vet was performing a very normal procedure (scraping cells from his liver to check for cancer) and the blood didn't clot (the liver has something to do with creating blood coagulants). He regained consciousness but had to be put down due to the internal bleeding. Surgery was a possibility but I was cautioned that he might not be the same afterwards; and by the time we discussed rushing him to surgeon it was too late anyway due to the bleeding.

From my Facebook posts

3/30/2023: I have some sad news. Garfield didn't bounce back from his procedure yesterday. He regained consciousness so he was awake when I saw him. But he had to be euthanized. I was there when he passed. He likely had cancer and his bodily systems were weakened as a result. I don't have all of the facts as to the "what" and "why", as he was getting tests to determine what was going on with him. Yesterday was really hard, as I was in shock and devastated and just really sad. 3/28/2023: Taking The Garf to the vet tomorrow (Wednesday) for an ultrasound. I took him last Thursday, because he used two litter boxes (one right after the other) and not much pee came out (not good for a cat). No UTI - but he lost two pounds since the summer and his abdominal organs are swollen. We heard back from the vet Sunday night that the x-rays showed "something", which could be a cyst. Lab tests were good, but the liver and spleen were not quite normal . My vet is not jumping to any conclusions (and he even hesitated to say it was a cyst).
