A sudden death

Catrin's Christmas has been somewhat overshadowed by the passing of Patch the rat during the night.

The other rats (Ratty and Black Beauty) are unwell with large and growing tumours, though they seem quite at ease, relaxed and free from pain. Patch was simply a little arthritic in his back legs, but this morning we found him dead in the bottom of his cage.

He was a happy, friendly, affectionate rat, the least ratty rat you could ever meet. He lived a happy and contented life and helped Catrin as she settled into her new country. He left his mother (Ratty) and sister (Black Beauty).
