As I sit here and type this, my kitty Sassy is passing on to a better place. The vet said that there is nothing more we can do for her except to make her comfortable. I'm crushed. I have only had her for two and a half years and before that, my mom had her for about two years. My mother rescued her from the Humane Society, she was a stray, a black and white long hair that had seen some rough times, the tip of one ear was missing, probably from frost bite. She has been the best kitty, my dad said that her attitude matched mine to a T! lol She was the most lovable cat you ever met. If she didn't like you, she would tell you though. She loved to cuddle and sit on my lap and be petted. I am going to miss her greatly, and I feel like I am not doing enough to make her comfortable. I hate leaving her side. She is laying underneat this desk and refuses to eat or drink any water. She is nothing but skin and bones. She's so frail looking, but doesn't seem to be in any pain, I just can't bring myself to put her to sleep. I don't know what to do, or how to comfort her. Does she know that the end is near? Is she scared? Does she want to be alone? I just hope she knows how much joy she has brought in to my life and how happy she has made me! (have to go blow my nose)



Here is a photo of her in her better days.
