We lost two this year - Misty the Dog and Bella (a cat) both had to be put down. Despit medication, the dog's hrart problems just got worse and the cat got what seemed to have been a rapidly spreding facial cancer.
OTOH, we still have the neurotic Oedipuss cat,
Worthy the Snot Cat (so called as he even by cat standards can have really snotty moods)
And Willy Weasel (who turned out to be female) the ferret
All of them found us at some point, Oedipus was certainly part of the local feral community, I'm pretty sure Worthy had been someone's pet but was a stray, the ferret just wandered into the garden when young and seemed very lost.
