I recently returned from a two week trip in the United States to my home in Santiago, Chile and was greeted with the very difficult and unexpected decision to put my dear cat Oscar to sleep. Less than two years old, he had quickly developed a fatal tumor that would be impossible to remove. I am still in shock as he was truly my best friend, but I found these photos of him today and wanted to share with the community. Here are a few photos of our last moments together, and a few of my favorites of him. He was such a great cat, and I am glad he is no longer suffering. Take a moment to love your family and pets today.

Holding his hand and telling him it's going to be okay.
