R.I.P. Otto

A sad day. I had to take Otto, my parents' cat, to the vet for the last time. It seemed that he had a tumour and he had started to suffer from it in recent months.

We adopted Otto 14 years ago, before Lauri was born. He used to be the perfect cat for children, although got a bit grumpy in older age. He was also very effective in rodent control. His special feature was his tail. His  fur was quite thick for a short-haired cat and it made his tail very thick.

When we changed houses with my parents, the cats refused to move, so Otto got new staff and we got new cats. I suppose it suited Otto well.
