Goodbye Kitty
Cut for maudlin blather

Today we had Chloe euthanized. She had a good weekend with us, after we gave her some medications we got on Friday, a painkiller and prednisone. She was alert, eating, and present, and spent hours sitting in a sunny window with baxter, watching birds and cats outside. she slept right next to our heads for two nights. Yesterday morning, it was all different. She never moved off the bed of her own volition, and her eyes were very far away. She drank water when i carried her to the water dish, but never even looked in the direction of the food. I knew it was time. The vet came right to the house. It was as untraumatic as we could make it. I'm very relieved, but feeling a bit stunned. Baxter will need lots of snuggling.




Here's Chloe being all mysterious

No ordinary red-eye for this girl!



This is a nice picture of Baxter, showing his pretty golden-orange eye color
