In memoriam: Emma

Emma
?? 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.

[livejournal.com profile] 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.

I am so, so sorry. I had to put my most specialest kitty to sleep a month or so ago, and my heart breaks a little more each day I'm not with her.

I'm so sorry to read this. I've lost cats, and found new ones, but there's never another one just like that cat, the one that's not there anymore.

I'm so sorry. She was a good Ninja, and you are good people.

I'm sorry to hear you lost another one. It sounds like she was well-loved and loving in return.

I'm so sorry - GLOW to light her path and ease your hearts.

I'm sorry that you had to take that step for her, and for your loss.

Oh, no, it's hard in a particular way to lose a young cat. It totally sucks. I'm really sorry.
