For Emily

Post by Lilith »

This afternoon. The vet came out and gave Emily a sedative first. She fell asleep in my arms with me talking to her.

Yesterday she was bright and naughty and greedy and noisy as ever. This morning it was clear she was going into uraemia.

I'm glad for her sake that it happened so fast. She was 17. She came to me off the streets and this is her song -

I am so sorry, I always feel it is better for them if it is quick at the end, but I think it is far harder for those of us left behind.

Run free once more in the hunting grounds over the bridge old girl, and hugs to you Lilith.

Thanks guys. x

It hasn't hit me yet - I go over and over what happened, and memories and all that, my commonsense told me she had to go eventually but it's still a shock, even when you know, and also it's as if she's still here, out of sight but in the next room as that poem has it.

Wouldn't put it past her - that cat has always been a force to be reckoned with :)

Emily - I'll find her again. Another song - please forgive sentimentality - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0mD2QSq1w

Lilith, I know we have been in touch by email, but this is my 'official' tribute. 'til there is no missing sorrow and no reason left to mourn.'
