Jescellany

[steepholm]

I had to have Jessie put down yesterday afternoon. She'd not eaten for two days, and her remaining eye was suppurating badly, and I think she may have been in quite a lot of pain.

She was a big part of my life, and I'm going to miss her a lot - but I'm also a little relieved, because I was worrying how a blind, arthritic, 17-year-old cat would cope with being in a new house. (Assuming my house move ever actually happens.) She found her way round this one entirely by memory, but a new layout would have been very stressful for her.

Sleep well, little one: you had plenty of practice.

Her memory for a blessing. She was a Good Cat.

Very sorry to hear. That I've met this cat just makes it more personal.

Sorry to hear this.

Travel lightly, furry!

She is lovely! I'm so sorry. (And also understand the relief part... another Dreamwidth entry I read this week referred to it as grelief.)
