I was 28, she was about 20, so we had been companions for most of our lives. She had been having health problems since earlier in the year, and then she was diagnosed with mouth cancer; she had a tumor in the left side of her mouth, and it was beginning to get bigger and it was evident she was in pain. So it was decided the best, kindest thing to do for her would be to put her to sleep. Even though her health had been on the decline for months at this point, I still wasn't prepared to hear that. So, just like that, she was gone. She was here yesterday, earlier today even, and now she was gone. Yes, I know, it was "only" a cat, but that's bull****.......to me, she was much more than a cat. I miss her so much.
I really loved her. She was there with me through some very tough times.
Her name was Starban, she was a calico, 19-20 years old. A real fighter. A tough cat.
I'll miss you, girl.
