...for my little old cat, Brisbane.
Booked her in for the final curtain tomorrow night. She's 12, which isn't that old for a cat, but she's always been a tiny weak little thing (barely bigger than a kitten even now) and her kidneys have finally packed in. Pretty much all she does is drink water, wee, cry in pain, and go back to sleep, and I can't face any more of it (she's been like this for six months, despite all the best efforts of various vets).
So tomorrow for the first time in my life I shall be taking a pet for the 'long walk'. Not looking forward to it, really, but it's for the best. Apparently for an extra £25 I could have her ashes sent off to be made into a "diamond", which sounds incredibly macabre. And, the size of her, would probably be a "diamond" the size of a poppy seed.
