Miss Kitty was not feeling well this morning, and by afternoon it became apparent that it was not a good idea to wait till our appointment with Dr. Katie tomorrow, so we went to the emergency clinic. Due to the speed of the deterioration, the doctor was not optimistic.
With the vet tech in the room discussing the cost of the various options, I asked Kitty "do you want to try to fight this, or would you rather be at peace?" She started to pee on the exam table -- not the fastidious Miss Kitty I know -- and to cry in pain. That was all the answer I needed.
Her Aunt Kat is waiting for her on the other side and will take good care of her till I get there.
RIP Miss Kitty 9/9/91 - 4/7/08
