Goodbye old friend

Our cat Heliwr has just made her last trip to the vets. She had stopped eating, was barely drinking, and the veterinary opinion was that most of the things that could be causing it (those which hadn't already been ruled out) were terminal and untreatable. We made the decision that all responsible pet carers have to make, to prevent her suffering anything. To the end she was bright, placid and affectionate, and has left us all with happy memories.

 

All the same, I'm still tearing up typing this.

 

Goodbye Heliwr old friend. Thank you for 16 wonderful years.
