Katie Is Gone
At 3.47 p.m. today I put my dear sweet cat Katie to sleep. She’d continued to lose weight the last few days, even with me feeding her, and she was in pain this morning and growling at me when I tried to feed her, so I went and did the right thing. I spent a peaceful afternoon with her and just as I was about to pick her up and put her in the cat carrier a huge crow landed on my window sill and Katie ran to the window. She and the crow had a minute-long stare down and then it flew off. I know what that was about. Katie had a great spirit and the forces of the Universe were saying good-bye to her. As I did holding her paws.
I did everything I could for her the last week and fought her leaving very intensely, but her vet thinks she had developed cancer and would likely only have had another month or so, even if she had bounced back.
I’ll try to resume normal posting in the morning.
