sabrinamariMy lovely and eccentric cat Luna, now almost 17 years old, died a few hours ago. Her kidneys failed and her body shut down. Luna's co-mother, Willow (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I decided there would be no invasive interventions, no fearful waiting or overnight stays alone at the vet's office and no more terrifying trips there. I don't think Luna would have liked the procedures required to give her the possibility of those few more weeks at all.
Willow held her until the sedative put her to sleep, and then the vet administered the overdose. Willow petted her while it was administered.
Willow explained that Luna slipped away so quickly that she didn't even have time to pick her up again.
I am more grateful than I can say for Luna's fast, easy death. Thank you, Willow, for taking care of my girl and making her passing as peaceful and easy as possible.

She was a grumpy bugger, but she mellowed out in her old age.
I hope she's happy whereever she is!

Peace to you Sabrina. You did right by those cats, dont ever doubt that. I hope you find peace with your own memories of your pets. Love you.

Date: 2007-02-14 04:17 pm (UTC)You know she was my favorite. I will miss her curling up with my boots or coat and how she would climb into my lap and insist on being pet. But only as much as *she* wanted. And if I did it distractedly, I better plan on being nipped. Talk about a way to motivate you to pay attention to what you're doing!
She was a sweet, loving girl, and while your decision was a hard one, you really did what was the most kind and loving thing for her. She's in a place where I'm sure she knows that now, and I'm sure she loves you even more for thinking of her pain above your own grief.
I'm here if you need anything.
