Sad news

[smurasaki]

My good friend with the kitty powers called me after work to tell me she had to put her 21 year old cat, Doogie, to sleep.  He broke his hip jumping down from something and was already too weak (he'd been losing weight for about a month before this) to survive any kind of surgery to repair it.  She stayed with him (and her mom stayed with her)

I'm so sorry. He sounds a lot like Zachias.

Thank you. He was just such a happy, people loving cat that it's really hard to think that he's gone.

And Max reminds me of him a bit, and I know I'll outlive Max...so there's that, too. *sigh* :( It's a sad evening.

Thank you.

HUGS.

Twenty one is a damn fine age for a cat though!

Thanks.

And it is, indeed.
