R.I.P.

The little kitty passed on today with the help of a few injections by the home vet. It turned out that she had lymphoma, same as my family's previous cat. We did let her enjoy a few more days of sunshine and play. Even when I visited last night and this morning she still wanted to play chase the stick. She couldn't eat, though, or barely drink and started hiding in odd places - probably in a lot of pain. OK, so I do believe euthanasia is a reasonable way to let your pets go when you know they're out of quality time. Still, it's just the hardest thing to have to do. You love your pet so much, and then you have to be the one to kill them. Sheesh, life is rough sometimes.
