Hello again, and welcome back to the FoxWeb.
Today is a sad one here in Oz. Our second-oldest feline daughter, Catreece, has crossed the rainbow bridge. She developed an aggressive tumor behind one eye, and there was nothing the doctor could do for her that wouldn't involve invasive surgery and a lot of pain with little chance for significant improvement. Rather than put her through all that, we had her put down. She was purring and happy to see us, and she knew she was loved. Our last moments together were as happy as they could be, all things considered.
Catreece came into our lives as a 3-week-old kitten. We found her abandoned and very sick outside our local library, crying and shivering in freezing cold with an infection that had glued her eyes shut. We brought her home and got her cleaned up, and a trip to the vet cured the infection. As soon as she realized she was in her forever home, she was the happiest kitten ever, toddling along with her tiny tail at full mast, wiggling with excitement at every new adventure.
In her later years she became our permanent in-bed cat when her older sister got too restless to sleep through the night. Catreece liked to burrow under the covers to see what was there, then come out chirping and purring, cuddling in for a good night's rest. Our last night together at home she curled in and purred all over us, happy to be family.
She was an adorable fuzz ball and a good friend, and she is very badly missed.
