What I did last night

Thanks to Pam at beancounter, I have a nice video of what I did last night.

Only, it's not so funny with a 19 year old cat. She just can't fight like she used to, and only a couple of pitiful wails accompanied the event.

Spazzy is not doing well. She can't clean herself any more and as a result, has developed a number of matted places in her fur. I have started to brush her out on a regular basis; something I never had to do for her in 19 years.

Yesterday, she started walking funny too. Looks like arthritis in her hips. I would not be surprised if she might be getting fractures in her bones now too. She is very old and has been treated for a thyroid tumor for the past two years. She has been the picture of health otherwise, but I know her time will come soon.

Of course DH is constantly measuring her to see how much sedative would do her in for good.

But every time she climbs into my lap, she starts her motor and purrs so loudly, I can't hear the TV. She's a very happy, if old and feeble, kitty.
