2:34 a.m. I'm awake with a headache and that stomach punch that started when I opened my e-mail on Thursday is still here.
But I'm not awake due to the death of a friendship. I'm awake because my son woke me up an hour ago to tell me there was cat poop on his bed that he just found. That he'd been sleeping with since 10:30 tonight but didn't know about until just then.
More cat poop. Which means that the kitty isn't getting better.
No. She's eating less and feeling boney again. So I need to take her into the Vet in the morning. To have her levels tested. And to probably be told that it must not be reversible and that eventually, her kidneys will shrink to the size of raisins. And to be offered the option of prolonging her life by injecting saline to keep the kidneys working. But that they'll work a little less each week, each month perhaps. Maybe dragging on for a very long time.
The little kitty who was the life of a party for the death of a friendship. Being pet on and loved on by the guests who came.
I can't take her to the vet and then bring her home for the family to say goodbye. And then have to bring her back again to be put to sleep. And I can't let anyone else do it for me.
She's the best little kitty. While I gave her two week's worth of liquid antibiotic, having to almost sit on the little beastie, she never once hissed at me or tried to bite me. She just fought, quietly, while I fought like the dickens to get the medicine inbetween her locked jaws.
C'mon Advil. Kick in. C'mon bowl of cereal. Take away the stomach punch.
