Sad news
I found my Miss Kitty, Megan collapsed on the living room floor at about 5:15 AM this morning. I had gotten up at about 4:45 AM to listen to a commercial on the radio that I wanted to hear. When I found her I had gone into the living room to get my slippers and I found her collapsed. She evidentally had gotten up to greet me when I came down (as she would do most mornings) and had not gotten any further than where I found her. I am really sad, she was a sweet heart. She was found in the public works dumpster back in 1990 and I took her home (I knew she would stay) for the Columbus Day weekend. Whenever stray cats were found in the village most of the village employees would end up taking them in. The County at that time would not take cats so I knew she had to go with someone or she would have been put to sleep.
She lived a charmed and easy life. She had only in the last two years taken a shine to my husband and would jump into his lap. She also liked to lounge in the sun in our 3 season room and watch the birdies at my multiple bird feeders. She was also intrigued with the squirrels. My little sweetie was just over 16 years old. She will be missed greatly. We are just happy that we found her today when we were home because next weekend we are going away from 4 days. I would have been guilt ridden if I came home and found her and she had suffered.
The emergency vet we took her too said that she had had a stroke. This is my second cat that has had a stroke in their golden years. There is a picture of my Miss Kitty, Megan in my pictures. The last pictures I took of her were over Christmas. I had bought her the cat Chia Pet. She would not touch the grass in it, little brat! She usually was bored with most of the toys I bought her. I think that they sell all of those pet toys for the human's benefit not for the pet. Most pets really can care less about their toys.
Anyways, thank you for letting me ramble. I am pretty lost today. I have so much to do and really do not want to even face any of it.

Chris Hi Chris.. I posted on the main board earlier today. Not sure if you saw it but my ultrasound came out fine. I hate it when I let things spend "free rent" in my head. I knew I needed to just stay in today and not start the "what ifs" but it sure is easy to do. Thank you for your prayers and support. Tell Dave I said thank you too. You guys take care. Are you going to be able to get away this week? Sounds like lots of snow tonight. Be careful and I hope you have a good time. Try to get some RNR.. You have not been sleeping, what's going on?

Can't sleep because of menopause taking over my body. I had to restart my HRT after a short stoppage. It is finally starting to kick in. The other thing is that everytime I close my eyes I start thinking of my Meggie and I am wide awake again. Even yesterday when I tried to nap after getting home from the vet. It is grief. I experienced the same thing when my folks died. It eases over time. Your brain is just going a mile a minute.
Yes, on the getting away. Come Hell or High Water we will be going up to the Dells. We have been planning this for several weeks and are looking forward to it. It will be good for us because we both will not be going into the living room to see where she used to sleep by the heat register.
