I'm sad to say we lost Wilbur on Monday morning. He died peacefully in his sleep which is the best I could have wished for. He came to us as one of the worst cat cases we have ever picked up during our work with the Cats Protection.
We adopted him and the vet thought he may have six months left. As it was he died just short of his 5th anniversary of being part of our family.
He will leave a huge gap in the house. Wilbur was a cat that surpassed simply being a feline, he was one of the most interesting beings I've met! Everyone who met him was struck by his amazing character from his wobbly walk to cooing purr.
aw poor wilbur. well at least you gave him five good years

Hi just passing by, couldnt go without saying sorry for your loss.But then again at least it gives you and your family a little consolation that he passed peacefully and hopefully not in any pain. Best wishes :)

So sad to hear about Wilbur. He was definately a character and a half. Any cat in your family lands on all 4 feet when they arrive there - he was a king and knew it.
