Not a happy post

Well...

I watched them put my cat to sleep today.

Okay, technically my mom's cat, and an animal I've seen only occasionally since I moved out to be with Rain. But.

Pris was a friendly little animal who, throughout most of my twenties, kept me company, soothed bruised feelings, and generally offered unconditional support when I needed it. For a cat, she was very affectionate and open.

She became very very sick quickly, over a period of a few days. It was the vet's opinion that medical treatment would just prolong her suffering, and to be honest, she got so much sicker over the short time I was there that I'm not sure she would have seen tomorrow anyway. We're still not perfectly sure what was wrong.

So, anyway. I'm sure I'll be over this shortly, but right now...
