Today was surreal, liggul, our family cat of 12 years a month away from her 13 birthday had to be put to sleep this morning. She developed something known as saddle thrombosis, it's googable if you're wanting to know what that is. She was in too much pain and treatment especially at her age was unlikely to be successful.
Both mum and I were with her and we brought her home and buried her in her favourite spot in the back garden, she'll like it there.
Happened so suddenly and with no warning. For those of you who have lost an animal, you'll know what I mean when I say it's like losing a member of your family, the one you always liked best.
I'm a bit zoned out now so here, have pictures:




Yes she liked being held as a baby, she was the sweetest cat.
I may have to do this all again on Friday with Mousie v_v

You've been so good listening to me today, thank you for being there *hugs tight* you really helped <3

Thank you <3
