Ishtar's gone
We had our little Ishtar put to sleep this morning. We've had her
since she was a few weeks old. She was nearly 17 and had been ill for a long time. Still happy and purring to the end, despite losing weight and getting weaker. But this morning we found her lying in a weird position stretched out flat on the floor, then she vomited blood and it was obvious her time had come. At the vet she just stretched out her paw for the injection with no fear at all, and was gone in seconds. Not a twitch, just quiet purring and then stillness. She was always the most affectionate of our cats towards the others. If there was a pile of cats cuddled up together, she'd always be in there. And at the end, the others returned the affection - there was always another cat snuggled up beside her to keep her warm and help groom her. She kept Muriel company for months through her last illness until she died earlier this year, and they're buried in the garden next to each other. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
