For love of a cat

It has been a long week. I am slacking in the blogging department but I make no excuses. Late last week I noticed my cat, Aspasia, was not doing well. She was sleeping more than normal and was not eating or drinking. I took her into the vet on Friday and it was not good news. The vet found a big mass on her abdomen. While surgery was a possibility, I do not think it would have given her quality of life so I decided to bring my baby home and love on her for a few days. By Monday morning it was clear she was suffering and exhausted so I made an appointment and she transitioned that afternoon. I miss her so much! Most everyone knows that my cat was my baby and losing her was quite difficult for me. I am glad she is not hurting and I know I gave her the best life possible. All week long it's been a bit strange around the house because I'm used to her being there to greet me, to lie in my lap, to lick me. Sigh. Yeah, I miss her.
