Nothing improves roses like a cat to go with them.

I would very much like to host a Cute Animal Pictures thread, because this has been the kind of week when you wonder if maybe we should kill all the humans and just start over with cockroaches, and that would work better. (If you read the Washington Post and remember the most horrifying university news this week? That's my university. I met that man at university parties.)

So, I'll go first.

We had my older cat, Cu, euthanized this afternoon. And I'm sad/angry/hurt/upset that he's gone, my baby-cat, my beautiful gray fluffy, the one who most thought I was Momma Cat. And at the same time I'm very glad that I know for absolute fact that it was fast and painless, because I was there. And I'm glad that he won't suffer any more, because last night I was half afraid he'd die right then.

And it's over and I don't really want to talk about it. Just. I love him and he's gone.
