All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Man, I don't have a good feeling about the kitty. She doesn't look good.

I'm sorry, girlie. This is so hard.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Cats get old and they seem like they will just keep going forever out of sheer stubbornness but then they don't. It's hard and sad.

That sounds so fun, Suzi! It will all come back to you. Go that way, very fast. If anything gets in your way, turn.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm sorry, Steph.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
They give us so much love, but they just can't stay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
WindSparrow made me tear up. I hope there is something which can be done for the kitty, Tep.

I've said for a while that we know she's ancient and obviously won't live forever, but knowing it is different from being faced with it. The poor thing keeps pacing around the house and can't get comfortable -- she goes from the dog's bed to the bathroom to the chair and back again, staying in each spot for just a little bit. She keeps yowling, which sounds awful. She hasn't been eating, but when I offered her the water from a can of tuna, she drank some of it. Last week, she guzzled it all down and mugged me for more.
Poor old kitty. I want this to be fixable, but you really can't ask for much more than 18 years, all of which have been good (other than the weird sneezing blood thing) up until these past few days.
The dog and the other cat are NOT allowed to get any older. Kato and I shook on it. Toke is indifferent, as usual.
