Happy V day to all of my friends, acquaintances and familiars.

Tonight my beloved and I are going to a fundraiser for F.L.O.C.K (For the Love Of Cats and Kittens). Since we have two more stray kittens living in our spare room we need to stay in good with these people so they’ll keep taking our charges. We seem to be stray magnets.

On a sad note. I think I will have to put Toonces the cat I’ve had since my sophomore year in high school to sleep. I know you guys are finding it suspicious that two beloved animals will be going to the great beyond in such a short span of time but I swear, it’s just the universe and it’s ways. I am not becoming a serial pet murderer.

Toonces the cat is sixteen years old. About six months ago Toonces and Jason the cat were taken in by our good friends Troy and Heather. Toonces’ kidneys weren’t doing well. She was always an underweight cat and began to lose more. We put her on special food, and the problem seemed to stabilize. We’re going over there tonight to see our furry friends, but from the description that Troy has given, it sounds like Toonces is in a lot of pain and uncomfortable all the time. We’re staying in the RV at their house and taking T to the vet tomorrow. I don’t want to write the spunky old gal before her time, but I’m almost sure that it’s the right thing to do. I was thinking it may have been the right thing to do months ago, but I didn’t want to think about the reality.
