My kitty cat died today.
She had a stroke, I think, around 6:40 this morning. Last night she was kind of wobbling around, and didn't want to eat. I had already called the vet because I was concerned (last week I took her in for bloodwork and she had some issues), so I was anxious to see how she was doing this morning when I got up.
She was lying on the foyer floor, all sprawled out. I wrapped her up in a towel and took her into the family room and rocked her. I started praying that she wouldn't suffer anymore, and I knew I was going to have to have her put to sleep, but the vet didn't open until 7:30. I prayed that she could die before we even got in the car, because I knew she didn't like car rides, and even though I was pretty sure she didn't know what was going on around her, I didn't want to take a chance that she'd be unhappy in the car. 3 minutes later she died in my arms. I will always be so thankful to God for that. He is so faithful!
Carl is going to bury her under her bird feeders out back, where she used to lay around in the summer waiting for a bird to fall conveniently into her mouth.
I still don't have my laptop with me here at work, and I know I'm woefully behind, but I'm sure you'll all understand.
