R.I.P. Midnight 1994-2009
So some of you may know I have a cat. I say she's my cat despite the fact that since I moved out of my parents house 5 years ago, I've never had an apt where I've been allowed to have pets so she's lived with my parents since then. She was a great hunter and loving pet. A few days ago she pestered my parents into letting her out around 4 am (as was common for her). When she didn't come home at all that day my parents got worried. Eventually she showed up the next day, limping and with a large cut on her back, right hip. She had trouble getting around and started to refuse eating. Finally this morning my Mom took her to the vet who told her that Midnight's hip was broken. At her age she probably wouldn't survive the surgery. So my parents had her put down this morning. I miss her already.
