Another Stunning Day! - Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die..

I just returned from taking my cat to the animal shelter to be put down.

Let me tell you about her:

She was 3-5 years old when I adopted her in 1993 from the humane society. I had gone to the shelter looking for a kitten, but she screamed at me and 'told' me to get her out of there. She was a seal-point Siamese.I didn't really want a Siamese but she was insistent. I don't know why, but I named her Siam-Suez, but she never came to that-she only answered to Miss Kitty.
When I got her, she was pregnant. The humane society said i could have her abort and get neutered or just bring her back and pick another cat. I felt that both of these choices were crummy. I kept her just the way she was.I think she knew that. Even though our relationship was new,only weeks old in fact, she waited until I got home from class and work to have her kittens. She actually climbed into my lap and put her paw on my chin and looked at me meaningfully and squeeked. I figured it was her time.(yes- that was a pretty good 2x4 to the forehead wasn't it) She had a beautiful litter of 3 kittens that were adopted by a friend of the family after she had weaned them. Then she got spayed.
Siam was the most cross-eyed cat i ever saw. they were the crystal ice blue kind that Siamese are famous for. She loved to ride in the car late at night to go to Taco Bell. She would fight you for a taco with hot sauce. We went several times a month. She hated cat carriers and prefered to sit in the seat, but I didn't let her get away with this very often. She would also fight you for Nacho cheese Doritos and whined incessantly for milk. We all have our vices.
She was a wonderful cat for all of those years. I have expected her to go for the last four years. She had been in really good health until about 10 days ago, she started loosing wight. Now, she was always a slim little thing. She never did weigh much more than 8 pounds. But the last few days, she lost down to about 3 pounds. She became stiff and unable to eat or drink. Dementia set in. I just had to let her go. She was faithful and tolerant of all of the other animals. She liked the bigger dogs more than the little ones. She only ever got bent out of shape over the new kittens when they came, and I think that was so they'd know she was the queen.
Long live queen Siam! God rest our Queen! The coronation of Queen Ramoth (Cali)
will take place later this evening. October 20, 2007
