Falkor has passed away. He was laying peacefully under my car... one of his favorite spots for sleeping, and it looked like that is what he was doing. I looked under the car from a distance this morning, but he blends with the light gravel, so I missed him... it was my son who spotted him when he got home from work. It is a sad day for us... he was a truly awesome cat and buddy... and is now buried in the back corner of my property, where I can see him from the window. My son did the work... I was a bit of a mess. R.I.P. Falkor, my shadow.
