One Of Our Beloved Cats Passed Away Today

Her name was Smokey.

She didn't die simply naturally, but my wife took her to the vet for them to "put to sleep."

That's a very hard thing to do. I'm kind of a coward but I could've done it, out of mercy. But in this case I didn't have to.

We were crying when they left.

I told her what a good cat she was and how much of a friend she was, and some other personal things.

She was just shy of 15 and was getting very skinny and had trouble vomiting all the time.

So ... sad day for us.
