My beautiful, bossy bengal girl is gone...
It's not fucking fair. I saw her yesterday (Friday) and she was back to her cheerful, bossy self. She had been playing with her catnip toys and using the litter box. The colitis was under control and she'd finished her last dose of meds Friday night. I was looking forward to bringing her home...
Then tonight: we got a call from our friend. Apparently, Leia had been hiding while she had company. The cat emerged from her closet, saw her daughter's bullmastiff on the bed, and freaked out. She raced downstairs panting, and then hid for a while. About an hour later, she started drooling and panting, and they tried everything to help her while looking for a vet (the closest one open was the 24hr one in Coventry), but her heart just gave out.
I have to say goodbye and dispose of her body tomorrow. *sigh*
