She was about 12 and we have had her for seven years. She had been ill and on medication so I knew the time was near. She was a 5lb tabby and very timid with strangers but was beautiful, loving and gentle. She would sit under the plum tree while birds hopped about her and didn't even have a notion about hunting and stalking them.
Yesterday I had the morning off work and we spent an hour together on the bed just cuddling and she did what she always did which was to prod my face with her paw when I stopped and she wanted more.
We went downstairs and she just suddenly fell ill. I got her to the vets and he agreed it was 'time'. I was in bits but it tipped me over the edge with how upset he was after knowing her for so long.
I took her home and he came out three hours later and she was put to sleep on her favourite blanket with DH and I next to her.
She is buried under the plum tree and I have packed up her beds, bowls etc.
The house feels still and empty and my heart is broken. I cannot believe how much I loved that little scrap. Beautiful, gentle, loving girl.
I miss you.
