Goodbye, Cana

x-posted to canacat

Tropicana had a stroke shortly after 4:30 today. At first she seemed annoyed that her rear legs weren't working properly and she had trouble breathing. Jesse was home and took her to the vet. By that time she was in pain, so the vet gave her a painkiller. I got to the vet's a bit after 6. We kissed her goodbye shortly after that.

Thanks dianthus for bringing us dinner and keeping us company. Thanks too to sar_anon, k_crow & Sean for coming over with hugs and companionship.

I lived with & loved Cana for about 10 years. Over the past 4 years she became Jesse's as well. Goodbye, baby.
