At 12:30 today, Alec and I petted Inca, our 15-yr-old cat, while the vet put her to sleep. It was peaceful. The Little Rat, who is usually called Fidel, had bitten her some weeks ago, causing nasty abscesses that only got worse, despite several weeks of antibiotics. I fully believe that our excellent cats over the years, Raoul, Tyler, Filiberto, Jemima, Cheetah, and Willy, bounded to greet her.
What *is* it about this summer??
