Quintus, Jamie's "youngest" brother and littermate, is dead at 6. He supposedly died of cancer, but since his owner is being so vague about the details, we (his brothers' and sister's families), suspect that he was killed. A great number of cats have recently disappeared in the part of the city where he lived, and some were later found dead. The entire litter was adopted out with the understanding that they'd be kept indoors, and his owner may have decided to ignore that proviso. Not that it makes a difference now. Poor little Quintus! I always called him "Joker", because one side of his face was white, the other black.
