Sadly, Leroy has flown to the Rainbow Bridge, long before his time. We think he spotted the grapes - which he loves, and was walking over to the dining room when no one was home, and Sunflower - who is nursing kittens and had suddenly taken an interest in stalking him, managed to get him.

Please no, "I told you so's" - it happened in a rare moment when neither Kermit nor I were home, and we are heartbroken. My daily banana is not as fun any more without sharing one piece - just one, thank you, with a little grey friend.
