Hi everyone, today my Snow is gone 1 week. The house is lonely, I am lonely and sad. I miss her terribly. I still feel guilty and terrible for having to put her down, but her quality of life had diminished. She was suffering too badly, but I kept trying to hold on to her for as long as I could. She was a special cat, a special needs cat, totally deaf, but oh so beautiful, those big blue eyes and all white fur, she was a persian. We communicated thru hand gestures with her, turning the light switches on and off when we would arrive home at nite to let her know we came home. She was smart and loved everyone, she did not bond with our other 2 cats, who are 8 and 5 years old. She would go to them and smell noses, but quickly go the other direction. It was people who she loved. She purred for everyone, including the Vet! Cannot stop thinking of her and missing her, thank you for all your comments, they do help. I thought I would write something today for her, I just miss her so.
