RIP Phosphor

We had to say goodbye to Phosphor this morning.

( Brief medical details )

Phosphor was born feral. His sisters who we weren't able to trap as kittens are still with us, but we've yet to see a feral tomcat last more than a couple years as part of the backyard colony, even TNRed. So I manage to think we did him a favor by bringing him indoors.

He's been every cat's favorite cat; he helped tame feral kittens, grew up to take care of the cat he considered his adopted mother, mothered our huge but insecure alpha cat when she was a kitten, and was a best buddy to our youngest.

I think he had a good life, I just wish we could have done more for him.
