Alas

 I feel quite sad that the neighbour's cat has had to be put down. He'd gone downhill very rapidly and the neighbour let me know as she'd asked me to help her medicate him. She was devastated and the rest of the family too. 

He was an unholy terror to mine and most neighbouring cats, but he was a Cat, just doing cat-things. 

Alas, chap, I salute you.
