The last photo of Minnie

Minnie has passed away. The infection in her tooth had spread far into her jaw and damaged the jawbone, and she also had lockjaw. Minnie had to be put down. I am very sad but also angry because the vet should have recognised the urgency a week ago and not postponed the operation for another week. Minnie would have been spared a week of suffering. I had a bad feeling all week, and Minnie probably did too. She spent the whole last night with me, cuddling and purring. She had such a great personality, with rough edges. Even back when I adopted her from the cat shelter in february 2024, she was the favourite there and lived in the office rather than with the other cats because she was simply a very headstrong and sensitive cat.
