RIP Mina, June 2005-July 2009

[crowdog66]

Mina is dead. We took her to the vet and had to have her put down immediately.

Feline leukemia. The vet figures she was infected when she was a kitten living with her feral mother.

We are both in shock. And the apartment has a horrible emptiness to it now.

I extend my deepest sympathies on the loss of your family member. I know how hard that situation can be.

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Fortunately Mina did not suffer with it. She was robustly healthy up until a couple of days ago and went downhill very quickly; the vet assured us that she wasn't in pain, just very very tired.

All in all, as deaths go, hers was a good death -- and a good life, full of happiness and fun and love and cuddles. It's just that we miss her so, and it hurts terribly.
