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...

I watched them put my cat to sleep today.

D'oh. Sorry, Michael. If she's the one I'm thinking of, she was a funny cat. It is better that she wasn't suffering, but putting an animal you're fond of to sleep is never easy. :(

*hugs* It's always hard when it's an animal's time, I've never gotten used to it. I hope you're doing alright, be sure to snuggle your kitty tonight.

cats so often get sick very, very quickly. But you have to remember - they have multiple lives - if she was that good to you - she'll go be that good to other people now, in her next cat life.

Would that we could all be cats.
