Goodbye, Kamai


I've been writing a bit here and there about our cat, Kamai, being sick. She had chronic renal failure, and this year an infection and the anemia from the kidney disease were really hard on her. The vet called yesterday to say that after some 7 weeks of taking the antibiotic Clavamox, the infection had gone away. She'd been starting to have trouble walking. By last night I had noticed that she hadn't eaten all day. We gave her her medicines and she threw them up later. Around when we gave her the medicines, I convinced him that it was time to bring her to the vet for the last time.

She got weaker and weaker, and I brought her to sleep with Zak. She had a good night with him, but she wasn't able to get up in the morning. It was good that we had already made the decision.

I spent a lot of time worrying about how to get her to the doctor, but i was able to get ahold of Monikat in the morning. Zak wasn't able to come with us, cuz he had homework due. It was very hard and sad, but we got through it.

I cried on a lot of people's shoulders today- Nora, Crystal, Molly, Tristan, the chiropractor, Julia, Ximena, and of course Zak and Monikat. I also talked to a lot of people on the phone. And spent a lot of time worrying about work stuff, but that seems to be working itself out (one client is going away for a long weekend, so i won't have to do them).

We are very sad and missing our Kamai Meow. (photo was added on wednesday)
