Sad Day

Today is a very sad day indeed.
If you don't know why then read the entry I wrote yesterday.

I got one last hug from her. And it was a good one. She didn't protest in true torty style, she was just still. I think she knew something was up. She tried to jump back in her carry box... something she has always hated with vengeance.

She put up a fight so they had to sedate her, so I didn't get to be there, but I think that's a good thing. I don't know if I could handle seeing a lifeless cat.

The vet told me that some people like to bury the ashes and plant a rose. Well, that's not quite my style, or hers... but I've got a better idea... plant cat nip! Yea, that's more appropriate.

I spent the rest of the morning cleaning up the house, getting rid of cat fur from the VCR, cleaning up the mess in the laundry, all for one last time. The good news is that we now have a dining room that can actually function as a dining room!

I think it was good to spend time cleaning up her stuff, to get it in my head that she's not around, and so that things like her bowl don't sit there waiting for her to use it.

It was kinda sad but happy at the same time. I know she's only a cat, but she's been a part of my life for so long. God has really helped me though it all. When it was time to stop crying about it I started thanking Him for having her around. All the silly little things she did.

She really has been a great cat. She as proved that tortoise shells can be affectionate in their old age. No other cat will be like her.

We looked at some kittens at the vet today. So cute. Wouldn't mind one! hehe.
















P.S, anyone want half a can of Chef Traditional Jellymeat?
