Conana
My cat Conana turned 20 last month. She lives with my sister, because she likes Adrian's dog, and hates every other pet on the planet. She's mostly blind, but makes her way around the house by moving slowly and using her whiskers to feel walls. My 4-year-old cats were with me at Ade's house for two weeks, and Conana hissed and yowled and bopped them if they got too close. Feisty!
Yesterday morning, Nana fell off the couch and then couldn't walk. The x-ray didn't show any breaks, but the vet thought that she might be "winding down". Ade called to say that Nana still couldn't walk this morning, and had in fact barely moved at all overnight, so she had her put to sleep. Adrian chose individual cremation, and we're going to put Nana's ashes in a little urn to keep.
It's my birthday today. I don't feel much like celebrating.
