This is not a eulogy. That will come later.
Our cat Tuxedo has a gut full of cancer, and it's up to us to determine when the end actually is. How did we get here?
This is the end of the line, the full circle matriculating. This is the absolute single truth about being a pet owner. A pet will live an entire life with you. They grow up, and eventually grow old. And eventually die. And you get to have a say in that end.
I showed my mother, a former vet tech, this picture, and her response was more a professional's response and not a mom's, specifically my mom:
Her diagnosis was exactly the same as our vet, with the same winces and sympathetic eyes
The last two years were an entire lifetime in this apartment, and he finally reached a level of peace in his life. That I can bear witness to.
Tux is ready.
We're almost there.
