Awful day today. My lovely cat died today.
I let her out as normal, after she ate this morning, and drove the kid to kindergarten. I was going to do some errands, but for some unknown reason, I drove home, where I found my cat lying in front of the steps, crying in pain.
I knew right away that this was it. I thought she had been hit by a car, because she only moved her head and front paws. I could see in the snow that she had dragged herself on her front paws to get back home. Her back end was paralysed.
Took her straight to the vet, and as she didn't appear to have any marks or scratches, they said she probably suffered from an acute blood clog, and there was nothing to do about it. It was better to stop her from suffering. Glad I took the route home, so she didn't have to be in pain for long, and it was good to be able to be with the furry little friend when she went to sleep.
Those paws leave a hell of a mark in your heart after nearly 10 years.
Miss you little Penny. Rest in peace little friend!
