We lost our cat, Petra, today - our indoor feral. We “rescued” her 12 years ago when Lisa found her bleeding in the middle of the road. And while she was raised from a kitten, she never really warmed to the human species. Only recently would she allow us to touch her - if we were feeding her French fries.
We kind of already knew it would end this way. She was impossible to give flea meds, so often went without. She never bonded with either Lisa or myself, rather she attached herself to our other cat, Alister - so we often said that she really belonged to him. Honestly, it’s Alister who’s taken her death the hardest. He’s become super needy and aggressively affectionate - he lost his closest companion and grieves the most heavily.
Tomorrow morning we’ll take her to the vet to be cremated - one service still available during our shut down. And we’ll spend a little more time with Alister as he gets use to one less cat in our household.
