my calico porch puma lost her battle with cancer this morning. i knew the time was coming, but refused to have her put to sleep while she had an appetite & showed no signs of pain. after not moving further that the patio to sunbathe for weeks, the other day she made a farewell tour of sorts, roaming the entire yard to all of her favorite spots. t
his morning, i could tell she was hurting , so off to the vet we went. as cats so often do, she got her way one last time as she quit breathing & closed her eyes before the vet could ease her on her way to that lush yard God keeps mowed short so all of the cats can see the mice & moles moving around. near as we could figure, she lived for an impressive 22 or 23 years. we had her (or she had us, lol!) for 18 or 19 years, and she was a mature cat when she took us under her paws. goodbye, Oreo my friend, and Godspeed...
