I'll miss the way you always helped Mama with her knitting...and the way you inspected the final outcome of each project.
sI'll missed the pissed off looks and scratched from giving you a bath and making you smell like baby powder for a day.
I'll miss the way you snuggled up on Mama's lap and put your paw gently on my hand to say, "no more knitting right now Mama, it's nap time with the kitty".
And more than anything else, i will miss you all curled up on my legs while i was watching tv, or knitting, or playing Second Life...and i will miss having you sleep on my chest, warmest girl area ;) or on my hip....while i slept.
Sleep well, my little "lap whore" kitty.
Bye, bye Luna. :(...................................................
Deb and i are very sad, we had to put our sweet Luna kitty to sleep tonight around 12:10am. We had noticed over the past several weeks that she was losing weight and tonight she had a few moments where she sort of fell over. We were scared enough that something was terribly wrong and so we took her in to the ER Vet. Dr. Shawn found right away that she was constipated and needed to be flushed out, but knew that there had to be some underlying cause. We left her in his wonderful care while he ran tests and we came home. A couple hours later we were called with the news that she did not have feline leukemia, but that she had kidney disease. Treatment would have run around $700 and then that was no guarantee of how long she would live...2 days, 2 months, years? We can not afford that kind of money as many of y0u know. As it was, the course of action we took, in testing and putting her to sleep cost us almost $400. We feel that we made the best decision for the well being and mercy of our sweet little lover girl. She came to us one night and has left us in the night as well...
We sang to her a little during our goodbye, it may seem so silly, but it made perfect sense to us...
..."We all come from the Goddess, and to her we shall return;
like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean...
