My cat

Typed by Pom



My 9 year old Ragdoll kitty, Aurora Borealis - Rory for short. She's been very ill over the past few months and is now only a shadow of the form you see above. These days we seldom see her. She is presently hiding out under our bed no sound made and I'm afraid to look under there. She's dying and there's nothing I can do for her. It's heartbreaking for my husband and me. Most days now are a period of hide and seek to make sure she's not died overnight. She eats next to nothing, uses her litter boxes even less. I don't even know what to say about it other than I'm unprepared. It's one of those events that despite knowing it's coming, and at this point it's inevitable and unavoidable, you can't be prepared for the reality. So here I sit. Waiting and hoping that it's all as painless as possible for her and wishing that everything could have been different.

im with the michael..



and gasped when i saw your kitty..except for the size ..my annie looks just like her...I think you can find a picture of her on my blog..wow..they look like they could be sisters..
I hope you find the strength to do what's right for her...my problem is i am afraid all this coughing i have had for the past 5 month is because i am allergic to her..i love her and the thought of having to give her up is making me crazy..no one could give her the undivided attention i give her ...won't get another car or pet because she is the queen and shares with no one...but i can't keep coughing like this either..don't know what i'm going to do...sigh*

if she's not in pain, just give her all the love and attention she will allow..
i still can't get over how much she looks like annie.
