He had grown ill and stopped eating several weeks ago.
He drank water but, as far as we could tell, consumed no food and he grew smaller and weaker.
Today when he slipped while turning around on the window shelf in front of me I finally accepted that his time had come.
The Yavapai Humane Society handled his passing.
We'll miss him.
In an earlier, better time
