Some good news comes to Casa Saddness The dishwasher stopped working Friday night.  I was just thrilled of course because I didn't have anything else going on and I certainly wasn't making any dirty dishes six or so times a day. I went to empty it  againso that I could fill it again and I noticed the bottom was full of water. Yea!

Life and Times I feel bad that I don't feel bad. I'm not teary, I'm not weepy. To be honest, my pain stopped when his did. I do feel tired, I haven't moved his litter box or his bowls and I haven't disposed of his food or his meds. His foam house sits in its place,. The travel box and his baby are still in my car. I had the heart to clean up after Christmas but not after him.

The Facts of Life "The Kitty" was his nom de blog but in real life his name was Tex and he died Monday afternoon around 4:15 pm. He was suffering from liver failure and I promised him when he came to live with me that I would never allow him to suffer.  I wanted him to live forever, but  he told me he was ready and I did my duty. The world and I will never know another cat like Tex.  I loved him with all my heart and will for the rest of my life.

The Kitty The Kitty is not well. Very not well. I started syringe feeding him on New Years Eve, and he wasn't doing real well, but I thought he might be making some progress. I called the vet on the second to ask for some direction as to how much and how often I should be feeding him. He was not showing a lot of interest in self feeding and he was throwing up.
