Ashley - R.I.P

Last night, Jim was very bummed. Ashley our grey kitty passed away. She was 14 years old. It was very sad. We knew she was going coz she couldn't handle her bowel movement anymore and on her last day she pissed all over herself. It was pretty heart breaking coz 2 nights ago she was crying all night. Her meow sounded like she was saying "Aww, aww" poor thing. Jim had to close our bedroom door b'coz we couldn't stand to hear her in pain. Yesterday morning, before Jim went to work, he petted her and she did not even open her eyes. He "knew" and so he said his goodbye and told her she lived a full life and that its okay if she goes and that we'll miss her. She just had the shakes, and Jim called me at work and warned me that when I get home from work that she might not have made it through the day. I was hoping b'coz I did not want to have to take her to the vet to put her down or much else Jim would have had to shoot her to take her out of her misery. I came home late that night coz I was scared to discover her by myself. Jim got home before me with our friend Chris and they took care of her.

We buried her on the green belt of our property above the creek. She was survived by loving parents Jim & Shy, her brother Kodi (our dog), and her sister Titleist (our white kitty). I'm hoping her sister would not get too depressed in her absence. Just like Nona she lived a good life. May she rest in peace. We'll miss you Ashley Grey.
