Well for me at least. My 22 year old kitty (yes she was equivalent of a 104 year old human) has been declining for the last week. Rather suddenly as is what often happens with cats. She passed last night. I'm fine in general, just glad she isn't suffering and she was home, warm, and was getting attention up to the end. She was pretty much my cat out of the four we have well had... with a nightly routine of getting slept on by her. She was a good kitty. I recall the first day we brought her home as a kitten and her following me everywhere and all the antics she got into... avid mouser... we dubbed her the wasp bane for taking out an entire nest of wasps one at a time (they would slip in through a screen)... without getting stung... or the incident where she literally got herself on top of a door and couldn't get down...

But it is a passing of an era as she was older than my kid who hasn't known a time without her being around. 

Was a bad week in general as my car's engine decided to go on permanent strike... so necessitated crash course getting a replacement and removing the emergency reserve... oh well... miss the kitty far more than the car... but it was that sort of week.
