Goodbye Tuxedo

We had Tuxedo put to sleep this afternoon. She had not eaten for a couple of days, was isolating herself in odd corners of the house, did not want a lap or petting, was not purring. We decided it was kinder to bring the end a few days sooner.

We are both very, very sad. The house already seems empty. There will be lots of points where we will realize we have to behave differently.

But we feel both Tux and Willie had a good run. 18 years is a long life for a cat. Some get a little older but not many. And we took good care of them.

With tears,
Mom
