In what is becoming somewhat of a pattern in 2025, there’s been another death in my life. This time it was our beloved cat, Misty.
He had developed a problem with his lymph nodes, and a course of treatment was way out of our budget. And it wasn’t even guaranteed to work. So we made the hard decision to have him put down. It was for the best. He was suffering in that he wasn’t himself, he seemed so out of sorts. Jane was devastated, Jake was devastated, and I must admit that I was devastated too. Although I never really mentioned Misty on here, his death hurt me more than my own father’s did. Misty was a lovely cat. It’s a real shame we had to make the decision to have him put down, as he was still so young.
Jake made a wonderful card at school, commemorating the life of Misty. I’m very proud of him for creating such a heartfelt memento for our lovely little cat.
