Mika

Mika, our cat, is dying.  I got a second opinion this evening, which was essentially to keep her comfortable and put her to sleep when it seems that she is in pain.

Our glassy-eyed beast of the night whom we have loved since before we were married is going to be gone.  I am a wreck right now.

Friends of Mika, please make arrangements to come and see her.  She doesn’t bite any longer.

I’ll keep readers updated.

    Sorry to hear about your kitty.  Give her all the love you can and wish her well.  You will see her again one day and you can both be thankful for each other as if you never shared time apart.

    Oh, Josh, I’m so sorry.  It’s so rewarding to share our lives with these adorable, independent creatures, and so hard to say goodbye.  You have given Mika such love and comfort her whole life; she has been lucky to have you all (and vice versa).  And you can tell she knew that by her distinct preference for you and Jenn over all those other human types around.  Greg and I both send our love to you and Mika.
