My sweet Petrushka died on Friday of a sudden heart arrhythmia. He was having the best day and then was gone within minutes. His favorite things were me, my other cat Claire, and being in the sun watching the birds. He was so incredibly sweet and brought us so much joy. He will always be my angel ❤️
