Baby, my 21 yr old cat, is going to be put down this afternoon. i HATE that her demise has a time. We believe she is entering the final stages of kidney failure. We want to spare her any suffering. I almost wish she would have passed already...i started to experience an anxiety attack on my way to work, followed by intense nausea. Maybe she did already, who knows. After 29 years, I have only experienced the loss of my gram and a few fish. :\ I am dredding the ride to the vet. I can't stand to seeher lay on the couch, struggling to shift positions to find comfort, she can't, there is no comfort now. She needs to sleep....peaceful sleep.
This cat had a crazy awesome life. I cried so hard the day I got her (August 31) because i had homework to do nd i wanted to protect her (she was on my grams porch). Gramma yelled at me to finish my homework first, and I did my best job writing in any answer, that cat came first! lol.
She'd chase bunnies in the yard, chase bugs in the house, met a lot of my cat friends, and did not welcome them to the house. She'd chase invisible things all through the house, she showed me what a pet was. She also changed my moms heart - my mom didn't want any pets. Now, she has manuvered herself a way to keep my two kitties at her place. :)
Baby, who was named snowball, as she was 'supposed' to be white, lived a hell of a good life and my girl is tired. I think that when i've been around oh so long, I too will be comfortable leaving this place. There are days now where I am tired and have had enough.
RIP my dirty orange snowball....<3
