Yes, and I'll bet many of our elders wish we could do that, too.

She just hesitated before jumping up into her bed, which is about a foot off the ground.

She's an old lady.

So I'll make the call today and get it over with. No real sense in prolonging it. I just always figured she'd go off somewhere when she was ready to croak over, but she doesn't go out anymore when it's chilly. And I REALLY don't want to just find her laying dead.

Friday at 12:30. I feel a sense of relief.

The only other time I had to have a cat put down, he was a only a few years old and had feline AIDS. So it was awful and traumatic. This isn't like that - it's time for me to be responsible and call it a day for her. She's been a good cat and had a good run.

Is it cheesy to have your animal cremated? I did that with my dog and have a box urn in my office.. I think I would do the same for my cat.
