*sigh*
We had to put our cat to sleep today...he'd come down with pancreatic cancer and we didn't want him to suffer. Wherever he is now, at least he's in a better place.
My parents have decided not to get another one, so this marks the first time in my entire life we haven't had a cat. And so I'm going to toast all the ones of the past.
To Bumpers, who was there when I was born. To Roscoe, who kept my grandmother company after my grandfather passed away and we weren't there. To Whitey, Grayboy, Runt, and Calico, the first litter we ever raised from birth. To the five little kittens we didn't name so we wouldn't get attached to them, who just showed up one day and we gave to a friend. To Redwood and Cowhead, whose neuroses made everyone love them. To Stop and No, the two little kittens who also just showed up one day and were full of energy till we gave them to another friend. And finally, to Mamacat, the greatest, most wonderful, amusing, smartest, and most loving of them all.
I miss you all.
