putting a loved pet down was not easy! not easy at all! it was probably one of the hardest experiences i've been through in my life!
we had a mobile vet come to our place to administer the process. though it was a bit more expensive it was certainly easier on mow-mow, brian and i. the vet was so nice, he wasn't in a rush (the whole process was about 30-45 mins.) and he braved the start of the snow storm to come to our place. the experience was so surreal! i mean, here's your cat..chillin' on your couch like she always does and a few minutes later she's gone! the timing of all this was on point, she started showing signs of discomfort and her tumours started to open up. so all in all we did what was absolutely best for her and us. we stayed and pet her until her very last breath, dr. curran swaddled her up like a baby..we said good bye.
the weekend snow storm put another damper on my weekend and kept me inside my apartment but it forced me to deal with it and not deny any of the feelings i was feeling. if i felt like crying, i cried and that was that. there's no point in keeping it all in, she was my buddy! i probably would've been a complete mess had brian not been there. he's the one that helped the vet hold her and keep her in place, i would have been useless in that capacity.
i feel okay with everything right now because i have no second thoughts or anything like that. i have a ton (more than i really should) of pictures to remember her by and so many moments. she had such a strong personality that many of my friends favored her..and why not?
she was a such a good cat!
who could deny that?
a favorite illustrator of mine, louis wain. this illustration looks a lot like mow-mow (if she was an old time judge)
yes.....i am a crazy cat lady! so what of it?!!!!
