RIP Munchkin

[itgirl]

i had to put my kitty to sleep tonight. we just found out last week that she has feline leukemia. we only had her for 3 weeks, she was a stray that we took in. munchkin was the best cat ever, and i am not a cat person. she was a lap cat, liked to curl up and sleep on me. the little darling was only 6 months old. there will never be another cat like her.

we were treating her for a cold she had and she suddenly went downhill all at once. she just recently began coughing up and passing blood, the worst of which she experienced today. my 2 girls took it real hard. i've spent the evening consoling them and trying to explain life's cruelty. i am taking comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering. i miss her though.

i'll attach some pics from her better days...

im not a cat person, but i do like friendly cats... thats why i'm going to refrain from some asshole comment about how cats suck and instead send you dirty pictures of pussies.

Sorry. having to send a beloved creature such as that off to the next life sucks, I've had to go through it too many times.

thanks fellas. i am sooo not a cat person myself, but this one was different. she was a lap cat. not all aloof and disinterested like cats usually are.

in my experience most kittens are. once they get older they tend to disassociate.

Sorry to hear about your loss itgirl. I know I would be upset for weeks if I lost either of my babies (aka the cats that cutty likes to say are stupid). They are a quiet comfort when you are feeling sick. Both mine know when I don't feel good and like curling up with mommy to take naps.....
