Heidi was behind the dryer....which is common for pets, to go hide when they are dying. I was thinking about that, and how weird that would be to know your heart is going to stop, or you are going to stop breathing forever. To get up and go hide knowing that is happening.
Heidi was old, and we've know it for awhile. During break she would be upstairs and randomly start meowing. Austin or I would run up to get her and carry her down so she wouldn't have to walk/stumble down the stairs. Spoiled kitty. Well during lunch on Saturday, she did this. I got up and went to get her. I brought her down and put her on the chair behind my brother. She sat there for awhile, and then got up. He thought she was just turning around, but she decided to jump down. That didn't go well; not the most graceful cat I know. I don't know anything for sure, but I feel like that fall hurt her significantly. She died that night i guess. I am no in no way blaming myself...but part of me wonders what if I didn't put her on that chair. I know she was really old. I am kind of glad it happened now. My whole family got to spend a week with her; she got to eat lots of turkey. We were all in Champaign when we found out she died; so we were all able to be there to bury her and say bye in our own way. I'm glad Austin hadn't left for school yet. I'm not sure how Austin is handling it. He recently has been close with Heidi. He also doesn't remember a time without her, cause we had her for that long. I don't know how Willie is handling it, or how he will handle being alone while we are in Texas for xmas. Oh well, that's life.
What is cute is that Austin put her in this new cat bed we bought for her before he went out Saturday night. After that, I went and tucked her in with a blanket before I left. That was the last we saw of her. :) Ashley was close with Heidi too, but she just didnt live at home during break like Austin and I did.
It's also better than the kitty we had in Houston, Huggybear. I remember him even though I was less than two. Just before we were going to move here, he ran away or something like that. My family searched for him for weeks, always thinking we would see him again, or that we actually did see him. We don't know if he ran away, got eaten, ran over, or what. No definite goodbye.
