I Haz A Sad



Just a quick post to let you know I had to put my kitty down last night. Rough night. She had a blood clot, and at the age of 15, they said she had less than a 50% chance of making it, and would have a very stressful quality of life with the treatment. We had a great 12+ years together, lots of cuddles, and I will have her hair on every surface and piece of furniture forever.

Right now I'm just staying busy - purging her things (a friend will take them to where she volunteers with adoptable kitties), cleaning out a closet or two so I have somewhere to store the stuff remaining in the middle of my Living Room ... you know, distractions.

I may not feel like crafting for a while, or I may decide I need the refuge. As soon as the waterworks stop, I'll see.

Thanks for listening.

    You know how much I adore you & how much I care. You were the best kitty mommy to Koshka EVER and you did a very selfless thing for her. She knew that...and will be looking down on you with kitty angel wings.

    So very sorry, honey. xoxoxoxoxoxox

    She was beloved, and there's nothing that you could have given her that is better than that. My heart hurts for you.

    Oh no, Leslie, I am so sorry. I know how hard this is. I still miss my boy, Sadie, who was only 14. I can't believe he has been gone for 6+ years. I kept busy too and cleaned all of his stuff, donated, washed his favorite blankets, etc. to keep busy. My heart aches for you.

    I am so sorry, Leslie. Your kitty told me one time that he truly won the Kitty Lottery in getting to live the good life with you. Hugging you, my friend!
