After 12 and a half years, Ivy the Cat (or as Apple branded her - iCat) is no longer with us. She had a progressively worsening heart disease that took the fun out of her and of all of her favorite things. [I hate writing this, just for the record.] It was the hardest decision of our lives, and we are still mighty miserable. She gave us a lot of joy and companionship, and we miss her more than words can express. They say that time heals and that it gets easier. Well, the 'easier' had better hurry up, because this part is terrible.

Doktor Rick - I am really sorry for your loss. Our own Spooky aka Mr. Spookins is nearing that point. His flanks are withering, his pelt his thinning, and sometimes his hips give out and he staggers. By mere coincidence I happened to read David Sedaris' essay "Youth in Asia" the other day on this very subject. If you need gentle humor to help your own healing alone, perhaps pick it up and give it a read. In the meantime, my best wishes to you and S. in this time of grief.
