the youth in asia.
i'm pretty sure that its about time to put down our adopted cat friend munchkin.
i had terrible dreams last night, mostly about putting people and pets (my childhood dog, mackinaw among them) in boxes and then having to shoot them through the lid of the box. its seriously fucked up my day.
munchkin sleeps all day between the water bowls (there are two) and the bathroom door. when she musters up the gumption to move around, the liter that's stuck to her fur and paws (from spending all of her free time in the liter box) gets all over the house. all over my couch. its a crappy couch, but its still disgusting. she hasn't put on any weight since she came to live with us almost five months ago. all she does is drink water and urinate in excessive amounts. my bill for cat liter is out of control.
she's at least fifteen, probably older. i feel like putting her to sleep is a cop out. like i'm being too lazy to be a good daddy. but she's blind and frail and i haven't loved her for her entire life like my romeo. that's not a reason to do it. but watching her move around, it looks like she's so miserable . . .
. . . i wonder if its kinder? if its the right thing to do?
no time to do it before we go to michigan. i guess that's plenty of time to think it over and make the right decision.
