I don't have a good title for this post

May 26, 2009 00:17

One of the reasons I haven't been around LJ much lately is that my Old Lady Cat has been very sick with kidney disease. This morning, her condition had deteriorated to the point that I had the vet euthanize her.

You are a very, very good cat-mom. 17 is a fantastically respectable age.

I'm sorry. So sorry.

Seventeen is a very respectable age. I have to remember that.

I know that you know what it's like to go through this. Your condolences are much appreciated.

I'm so sorry. She's had a fantastic life and clearly you made each other really happy.

baileytc May 26 2009, 17:32:02 UTC

Thank you.

She was a very happy-making cat, yes. I have many more memories of her young and healthy than I do of her when she got sick. I just have to concentrate on those.

So very sorry to hear this, sounds like she was an amazing companion.

Thank you. She was a terrific cat. I couldn't have asked for any better.

She was gorgeous and wonderful.
I'm glad you had so many years together.
I'm very sorry.

Thanks, Steph.

My sister said she was "funny-looking" the first time she saw her. But then she got her own tortoiseshell cat and changed her mind, I think.

She was a great cat, and we had a good long time together.

Thanks, Mary. She was a very sweet and affectionate cat--not a big lap-sitter but she always wanted to be near me. I'm going to miss her.
