Kindness

My neighbor Diane made my cat Lucy a little comforter years ago, and she loved it. For proof, see here, and here, and here, and here. Even last night, as the temperature dropped, Lucy collected her little self, curled into a ball on the kitty quilt, and slept before the space heater.

So this afternoon, when I took her to Midtown Veterinary Services & Hospital to be euthanized, she traveled on that quilt and lay on that quilt when she saw her last humans: the assistant who has been to my house many times, the best vet I've ever known, and mine.

We did her a kindness today. I am glad she went out easily and that she had one last good afternoon in the sun.
