Just lost my 14 y.o. best buddy on 2/11/13,....of this very thing,....so my heart hangs heavily tonight for you and Miss kitty!
Yes,....this would be one of those times!
I have her eight year old daughter still, but she's got it now too. Her tiny tummy gurgles away,......and her eyes glaze over with pain. We know the look.
I can tell by your writing and words,....you're a strong, STRONG soul. Which means people will expect more out of you,...yeah, that sucks too!
