Today we had to put my cat to sleep. I know it was the right thing to do...her lungs weren't even functioning at 1/3 of the levels they should, she had what was probably cancer in there and so on...but it was probably the hardest decision I've ever made in my life.
I'm a total mess about it. Anyone who knows me knows I loved my cat more than most of my past boyfriends. She was there through every serious relationship in my life. She's lived in every apartment I've had since I moved out of the dorms. She's politely waited for me to feed her by just standing quietly, patiently waiting. She used to rub my cheek with her paw when I was falling asleep. Just yesterday morning she was rolling around on the floor while I blow dried her on the bathroom floor.
She loved McDonald's fries for a total of three licks and one bite. She had a strange affection for biscuits and bread products...just like her momma.
All in all she was my little furry shadow by my side for 12 years and I loved every ounce of her.
I miss you, Weenie. You were the cutest baby on the planet. I love you.
Here's the last photo I think I got of her from November 18th.

So sorry baby. Beano was always a soft hug for you! She tolerated everyone else, but LOVED you! I knew I made it when she decided to sleep in my suitcase or behind my knees on the couch. Of course, if I moved too much, she would give me a little "love" nip to remind me to lay still so she could sleep. She let me pet her sometimes but I'm sure it was only because I am you mother! She was definitely a "personality". Yes she will be missed. LOVE YOU!
