[My buddy and best friend, my cat, Midnite passed away]

I have done this periodically since Thor passed away in 2002. He would come in and lean on the bed, or knock up against it as he did his turns to lay down. (The cats don't come in the bedroom any more due to my allergies. I think I hear her sometimes, though.)

There was an actual case like that several years ago, right?

[Jury duty - where do they get names?]

I'm telling you, it affected me. Listening to the 911 call of a friend of the victim who was on the phone with her at the time, the creepy robotic voice that calls out the time, the autopsy and scene pics, the intense deliberations, not being able to talk about anything. I called my best friend on the way home that Friday after court was adjourned. I HAD to let it out.

[Jury duty - where do they get names?]

The outcome was two consecutive life sentences. We had no say in sentencing, but were told that the death penalty was an option if found guilty.

 

And the last sentence is just in case you were insinuating that someone ends up on a jury because they are ignorant.

[Jury duty - where do they get names?]

Whatever the case, I was on a jury, and was for the death penalty (before I knew what he had done, and after). There was some sort of behavioral...something there helping the prosecution (I think) choose. I am not ignorant.

[Jury duty - where do they get names?]

I was called once to Cobb Superior court for a malice murder trial. It was intense, to say the least. I wanted to do it, though.

[Woman's Record-Length Fingernails Broken in Crash]

Probably. But again, why? (I don't even want one.)

 

ETA: You don't know my SWAGGER!

[Woman's Record-Length Fingernails Broken in Crash]

Geez. I cut mine if they get up to a half inch. I could easily grow mine that long, but why?

[my little old lady is dying]

We buried her earlier tonight. It was hard for both of us. She is back there with Thor, who died in 2002, and James Dean, who died in 2007.

 

I feel guilty, too. I could have done more, caught this earlier, something. And now I'm wondering about her nap partner, Buzz. He smells like her, and I'm not sure if that is because he laid with her, or because he has his own kidney issues. I can't remember the results from December. Not to mention that I probably put this off 2-3 days longer than I should have, hoping she would pass peacefully.

[my little old lady is dying]

She's gone.

[my little old lady is dying]

And as my vet just said, if it's not that, it could be starvation and dehydration. That could take days. Not acceptable.

[my little old lady is dying]

I'm taking her in at 11:30. I want to ensure a peaceful passing. I'm afraid as the toxicity increases, she will have seizures. Can't do that to her.

[my little old lady is dying]

I saw that. Looks like two great felines will have moved on today.

[My buddy and best friend, my cat, Midnite passed away]

I'm so sorry.

[my little old lady is dying]

One last nap in the sun spot.

 

 

Waiting on the vet to call back. Will probably confirm what I already know.

[I GUESS YOU SAW THIS:]

Srsly. She is.

[I GUESS YOU SAW THIS:]

My sister's a dumbass, too.

[my little old lady is dying]

So now of course she seems more alert. Wouldn't drink water, though.

[my little old lady is dying]

I've made a decision. If she lasts through the night, I'm taking her to my vet first thing. She will be buried with Thor (the pit bull) and James Dean (the ball python).

And eat some PB products!

[my little old lady is dying]

I just spoke with a mobile vet. Nothing definite yet. I have to weigh cost (not that it is a major determining factor) with stress to her, etc. He did say that they could go "days and days" without eating. And he said that if seizures happen, it could be a couple hours. So, if I wait for that, it may be too late anyway. My vet closes in 20 minutes. Can I put her through another 18 hours, and take her to my regular vet? I don't know.

[Who are these people..........]

Ha. I hit guys and they hit me all the time. I'm an adult, though.

[my little old lady is dying]

Any updates?

I tell ya, I have been petting mine more since reading your awful story here!

Ain't it funny how attached you can get to an animal?

I don't think of it that way. She is my 18 year old child, basically.

 

From what I've seen today, I'm debating my options, leaning toward (but hoping against) euthanasia. While I would love for her to pass peacefully here with me, I'm not sure how much more either of us can take. She is less alert, but still responds to me. She meows when she wets the bed, wants water, or wants to turn over (usually after trying to do it herself, clearly frustrated). She will still move herself so that her head is in my lap. She won't eat anything, but still drinks water.

 

I need to call the mobile vet just to see what the deal is (cost, wait, etc.). Need to decide what to do with her, also. I think my husband wants to bury her next to our dog Thor in the back yard. That seems a better option than cremation, only because I don't want to discard her in that way. And I don't know how much extra separate cremation is, but I don't think I want that kind of memento of her.

 

I did put her in the sun spot while it was there this morning. She seemed to enjoy that.
