Hellfudge

[twirlgrrl]

Hellfudge is going to the vet in less than an hour. She is not coming home.

I tried to talk to Blue about it a little bit yesterday, when he came up to me as I was crying over Hellfudge. He wanted to know if she was sick, and I said yes, she was sick and tired and old, and she might be going away pretty soon. He said "And then she's coming back?"

18 years is a long time. I have been so lucky to have her for so long. She is such a wonderful cat. Everyone who knows her knows how special she is... well, at least MOST people do. Nathan will probably be glad she won't be sneezing at him anymore. If he says something like that next time I talk to him I just might stab him.

I love this cat! I would be holding her right now but she doesn't want to be held, or petted, or anything. She just wants to lie in the grass at the back fence, in the sun and the wind. She's just dozing and waiting. Anything that brings her to the present moment is an annoyance to her. She is ready to go.

Lisa... :( *hugs* Hellfudge has had a wonderful life with you, with all the love and caring a kitty could ask for. I started crying as soon as I read your first sentence because I just had to go through this with Sasha at the end of last year. Seriously one of the hardest things we ever have to do in our lives, to let them go when they are so tired and sick, but it's the right thing. She sounds like she is ready to rest, poor old girl. I'm sorry you have to go through this... you guys will miss her so much, but will keep so many wonderful memories of the time you were blessed to have her in your life.
