So today we had to put down my cat... He has not been well for a while now, so it did not come as that big of a surprise. He was 19 and would have been 20 in the summer. He has been loosing weight for a while now and had arthritis. For the last three days he had not eaten any food. I know that it is for the best that he is gone but that does not make it any less difficult.
He was older than me.... I have had him since the day I was born. I have never lived without him. The worst part is that I know I will never ever be allowed to get another pet for as long as I am living at home... My brother is allergic to them.
Even worse than that though... I never even got to say goodbye.... My mom told me a few days ago that we would probably have to put him down but I thought she would tell me before she took him to the vet.... I really just wish I could remember the last time he sat on my lap and the last hug I gave him but I really don't remember.
I know this probably sounds stupid but I feel that Boreal was more than just a pet.... When I was little and crying I would always hug him and I would feel alright again... Its just horrible to think that I will never ever see him again. He would sit on your lap for hours.... It has not even been a day and I still miss that feeling so badly.
Now I'm not going to lie.... Sometimes he was really annoying but he was a part of my family and a friend.... well I'm just gonna go now
RIP Boreal 1993-2012
