The long kiss goodnight

Oct 20, 2010 01:00

I've come here to let people know Cairo will be leaving us in the next couple of days.

With his health, there's no coming back from the damage, unfortunately. I cried all day, hugging and smooshing his warm, purring body. My hope swung violently from optimism to utter devastation as he went from bad to worse to seemingly okay to bad again. We went to the animal hospital and they expressed great concern over his high blood pressure and heart rate, and also that his pupils were fixed and dilated. I also noticed in the past day or two that he seemed unable to see properly, and they agreed that perhaps he had suffered some blindness from his first seizure.

Cindy came to sit with us a few times, wiping her eyes and tickling his chin and saying her little quiet prayers and goodbyes. Oh. I can't talk about it anymore, no more crying for me today.

So anyway, my hope is that if you want to send out a psychic message to him before he goes, he will probably hear you and maybe it'll lift his spirits.
