Hey all, sad news. My cat, Roxxie, unfortunately had to be put down today. She was ~20 years old, so I can (somewhat) happily say she led a good, long life. Between arthritis, diabetes, and other painful health issues, it was decided that it would be in her best interests to end her suffering and help her peacefully pass away. I gave her one last goodbye kiss on the head as they injected her, and continued to pet her as she took her final breaths. I'm hoping that she found comfort and safety in knowing I was there for her as she drifted away. I've known this day was coming for a while now. Her health and vitality had been deteriorating over the last few months, and at her most recent appointment, the Vet let me know it was probably time to say goodbye. I have been emotionally preparing myself for the last few weeks, and take solace in the fact that she at least got to have one last Christmas with us before she went. As sad a day as this is, I've always thought the best way to honor
