?? 2004 - April 9, 2011
Yesterday afternoon, we had to put Emma--a.k.a. The First Ninja--to sleep. She was diagnosed with hydronephrosis in January, so we had known it would only be a matter of time, but that didn't actually make it any easier. It was obvious, though, that she was doing worse and worse, and she was in pain, and there was no justification for making her suffer any longer.
She was an imperious cat, a shy and suspicious cat, a beautiful cat, and in her own idiosyncratic way, a very loving cat. It took some doing to get her to purr, but when she did, you felt like you could conquer the universe.

mirrorthaw and I both hate that we got so little time with her, but we're also grateful that we were able to have her in our lives.
Good-bye, tsarina. I love you and I miss you.
