Lickings no more...
I interrupt my life as a almost, from time to time, political blogger to express sadness on a personal level.
Today, we had to let go of our of our cats. In many ways, she was my cat. Splotch had been very sick for a couple of days, and it became obvious that she needed to be put down today. My last moments with her were spent holding her in my arms. She just sweetly looked at me, even though she was having so much trouble breathing.
So the cat who slept with me almost every night, who licked my forehead so much that it often got to the point of pain, who would look at me working in my recliner and would do her best to walk across my keyboard has left me. For good.
And I am sad, and I will be for a few days. She was so wonderful, so sweet. I will miss my Splotchie. May she rest in peace.
