Yesterday was a sad day...I had to say good-bye to Cricket. We found out about 6 months ago that she had leukemia. Although she had lost so much weight, she still seemed to have mostly good days. She liked to eat canned food (3 times a day!), come inside to be petted, she even caught a bird not too long ago. (sorry little birdie!) Even the night before, she stayed in and snuggled with me a long time and enjoyed getting petted. I was a little worried that she didn't eat much, but didn't notice anything else. Yesterday morning she didn't come to eat and I found her lying behind my neighbor's bushes. She answered me when I called but I could barely hear her, she was so weak. She didn't get up and I could tell she was in pain when I picked her up. So I knew it was time to let her go. I am glad I was able to be with her until the end and hope that I made things a little easier for her. I sure will miss her squeaky little meow. She was a fixture on my porch, always there to greet me. RIP little girl!
