This afternoon the family cat Sally has died. She was about 2 months shy of being 20. We knew her time was coming to an end. I wasn't planning on visiting my family in Hamilton this weekend because I had things planned as I had a yoga workshop and planned to study but my mother told me that Sally didn't eat today or last night and I knew that meant she didn't have much time to live. I took the bus to Hamilton and I saw that she was lying down but she looked exhausted and like she was dying. I started to cry and lay down beside her, holding her front paws. I spent some time with her and we thought she died for a moment but then I noticed she was still breathing but she didn't have much energy and her eyes weren't really focused. She also was twitching a lot.
I placed her on my chest because I wanted to hold her one last time. I went to lay on my parent's bed and let her lie on me. I told her how much I loved her and what she brought to the family with her sweetness and presence and how much she meant to me. I continued to hold her and then she stretched and looked at me. I was a little freaked out by her sudden movement. I had my mother pick her up and we placed her back in her box. After about 3 hours of my being there, she passed away. I am very sad and will miss her presence. I love you Sally and you are my fur angel.
I'm going to miss kissing her and holding her and smelling the outside of her ears. Rest in peace my angel!
