The Kitty


Sunday, December 14th--The kitty died over night last night. I found her in her crate this morning. I knew that the time was quickly approaching as she was getting weaker and not eating much. She was getting very thin and did not have much energy. We will miss her.

Akasha was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago and had been on insulin shots twice a day. We never could get her insulin regulated and she went down hill over the last few years of her life. She stopped using the litter box last February and so became an outside kitty. I know Akasha was not thrilled with the new arrangements but the kids loved having her outside. They would carry her around and include her in all their outside games. Poor kitty. :) Actually, she seemed to enjoy it and would walk over to see the kids and get attention when they were outside. A big change from hiding under the bed from them when they were toddlers!

I never really did get a chance to greive for her as the same day, Banff ended up in surgery and a fight for his life. More to come on that.....

Bye, bye, Miss Kitty.
