This was my brothers family's Pet, and I never met him. My sister-in-law says it was the only Cat he liked. He became suddenly sick on Sunday, then went out for a walk and was on the front porch, so my sister-in-law let him back in and seemed his old self. They "talked" with him and petted him. My brother stayed up a little later to "talk" with his friend, and put him on his favorite chair under the kitchen fan. Around 12:30a.m. my brother woke up feeling something just wasn't right, and he found his beloved Prince had passed away. I would definitely say that Prince came home to be close to his family, the place he loved, and was loved because he knew he was dying. I think that is so beautiful. If animals do go to Heaven, I am sure Prince is there right now!
