Just got the call.
News ain't good.
Ciaran has more or less confirmed that the growths on Eddie's front legs - which are, he says, very large, are cancerous. He doubts it's possible for Eddie to come home now and have any sort of a life, so Karen and I have discussed it - well, come to terms with it really - and there's nothing left to be done. We can't have him living in pain just to assuage our sorrow; I always said when there was no hope, when I had advice that it was time to let go, from a trusted source, that I would.
And we will.
Gonna be pretty sad for a while, folks.
Thanks for all the support and advice, encouragement and prayers. Sadly, there's no longer anything anyone can do, and we have to face that fact.
The last cat standing has fallen.
RIP Eddie.
