Yes, when we found Rupert dead at home, we took him to the vet for cremation the next day. They were very kind. So very sorry -- 20 years is an extraordinary run.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Right now she's in a basket wrapped in a blanket on the deck. I will take her into my vet once I have a chance to talk to my sister and see if she wants to come see her first. (Kitten Gracie was an Xmas present to my sis way back when she was in middle school. She'll be 34 this spring.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, brenda.

I'm sorry, brenda. I'm glad she was able to pass peacefully, with her person.

I was very comforted that Koogie got to depart this world curled up next to me in his own bed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so sorry, Brenda.

I'm so sorry, Brenda. I'm glad you were with her and she was at peace.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aw, tears. Good-bye, Gracie. What a lucky kitty, to live so long with people who loved her, and pass so gently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, Brenda. That is a good long run!
