Things I wasn’t expecting to do when I woke up today
Posted by ben on 7th August
Katya died at 3:45. Dr. Yaxley showed me the radiographs indicating that her kidneys were abnormal and had visible stones. After that, the only option was a surgery that she was not likely to come out of, given how far she had deteriorated even with supportive care, and an infection in her one remaining kidney. She was calm but clearly in pain. The clinic offered to send me a clay cast of her paw print, which was nice and not something I had expected. I signed her over for the clinic for research and instruction, so maybe she can help someone else’s cat. That’s all.
Ben, I’m so sorry about Katya. I know how awful you must feel. At least know that you did all you could and you were with her at the end.
=( Sorry to here about Katya.
My sympathies to you in the loss of Katya. I know you made her short life a special one.
Just so you know I’m thinking of you and her. Maybe she will find Lasermonkey and they can be friends now.
omg. the fact that you ever named an animal (or knew an animal named) lasermonkey and that now he and katya can be friends makes me feel a lot better about the situation. i hope you and the menagerie are holding up ok!
Katya was awesome, made more awesome by the fact that she was an uppity princess. I do indeed hope she’s playing with lasermonkey. Lasertag, perhaps.
