My husband and I have many animals. Until today, we had three dogs and four cats. Now that is three cats. Today, we had to make that last vet visit with our Holly. She was likely at least 14 and probably older. I got her and brought her home three years ago when the 50 something woman who had her for several years died unexpectedly.
Holly loved Brian. As for me, she just sort of put up with me but they were so sweet together. So, it's a hard loss. The prognosis for kidney failure in a cat her age in particular is very poor, and she had gone downhill fast. I feel bad that Brian had to go through this with his own life ending illness in play.
So, this morning, my husband talked to his sister on the phone, told her about the cat and discuss his own decline and eventual demise. Then I went to work. Then I came home early to go with him for Holly. Cat death, terminally ill husband, phone conversations so depressing and somehow all I feel is sort of sad and sort of crabby, like fed up/tired.
I shed not one tear yet today for that poor kitty. I feel terrible for Brian but I am at the same time somehow just dried up and tired inside.
I think I need a good sleep.
