We lost a member of the family on Friday. My cat that I've had for 16 years got very sick and I had to make that terrible decision.
I walked into the dining room this morning, half expecting to see him asleep on the chair in the sun. I always left the shades up and the chair sideways just for him, because he loved sleeping there so much.
I hope wherever he is now, there's an automatically refilling bowl of cat treats, a faucet that's perpetually turned on to just a trickle so he can get a drink whenever he wants, and a soft chair with a patch of sunlight always waiting for him.
I'm glad he's not suffering anymore, but man oh man, I miss him.
