BROWNIE R.I.P.

A week ago Monday, October 28th, was another sad day for us.  Our Emergency Backup Kitty, Brownie woke us up at 3 am crying loudly.  We found her on the floor with what appeared to be a paralyzed rear end.  She could not use her back legs.  We did what we could do for her at that hour and got her to a vet later in the day.  The vet determined that she had serious heart disease and that as a result she had thrown a blood clot that lodged in her spine and caused the paralysis.  She felt too much damage had been done to hope for any recovery of the use of her legs and it was also just a matter of time before she threw another clot.  Brownie was 72 in people years.  She had a good last few weeks but we really had no choice but to say goodbye to her.  We were with her until the end and it was just as hard as it was with Gizmo back in September.  We were unable to tell son Paul about this until yesterday so delayed posting.  At this point I think we will remain "catless" for a while, perhaps permanently.   Goodbye Brownie.
