My cat Pierre is dying

Actually, to call him my cat is a misnomer. I am his person, since he chose me, over 16 years ago I should add. And for those of you that don't know him that well, his full name is Robespierre. Not for the scarry guy, but for the cartoon cat in an old cartoon movie about cats called Gay Purree, with the voices of Judy Garland, Robert Goulet and Red Butons (as Robespierre).

He purrs when I pet him and is drinking some water, but he has been going blind for some time and now can't walk and has a hard time lifting his head or moving around. I don't think he will last another day, though I was sure he wasn't going to make to today. I will be taking his body up to Cat's Cradle and burying him there with Andy and Catherine so that he will be buried back in Santa Cruz where he was born.
