I can't let go.
Honestly, I don't want to. How do you let go of a cat that you've only had for 4 months?
Baby Saffron.
She was a little older when we got her, but not by much.
And she barely had any teeth.
She would always come and jump all over my laptop when I was using it.
And now I'd give anything to have her jump all over my laptop again.
I don't truly understand how a 6 month old kitten can die from congestive heart failure. I don't think I ever will.
I am forever plagued with the memory of the beauty and love that saffron gave me. Plagued because it wasn't enough. Plagued because her metaphorically big heart turned into a literal big heart, which drained the life from her kitty. Looking at her sister is bittersweet.
My mom says I've been through 'worse' tragedies. Maybe I have, but this is slowly killing my insides. I went to Banfield, then to the Vet ER. I spent the whole day there. First with low hopes, then high, then bonecrushing low. If I had more money, I probably would have tried my damnedest to prevent the inevitable. However, considering the doctor told us that she probably wouldn't survive the night... I don't know what money could have done. She was feisty to the end, but her heart was just too big.
Good bye my itty bitty. Khoshgelan eh man.
