R.I.P. Shiva
We had to put our oldest cat Shiva to sleep today. She had been acting a bit lethargic for a while, and the usual battery of tests failed to reveal any particular sickness. Then yesterday she started dragging her back legs and looked to be in a lot of pain.
Took her to vet today and had her put to sleep.
We’re going to miss this little crazy furball. Thanks for the years of companionship.
