another loss ...

Jan 20, 2009 05:53

Jerry, my 20yr old cat has been steadily losing weight over the last couple of weeks.  I could see the end coming, but I kept hoping (foolishly, I know) that it wouldn't.  Over the weekend, he stopped eating and started to look for places to hide (not easy when you're blind, but he managed it).  By Sunday night, I couldn't lie to myself anymore. 
Last night, he closed his eyes for the last time.

I'm going to miss you, Jerry.  But I'm glad you're not in pain anymore.

January 19, 2009, oh how I loathe thee.

A super-special thanks to Doc.
