A tribute to my cat.

Hello, all. Today I share some unfortunate news. Me and my family have made the choice to put down my cat. 

I'm not sure if I'm using the blog thing correctly or not, but I still wanted to get my message out there, however possible. "Glücklich," or "Lucky" in English, was her name. She was a beautiful little kitty, and my parents had found her while driving near a farm. We believe her soul purpose was to be a breeding cat for kittens, but we aren't sure. She was missing an eye, and is practically blind in the other one. She's always been a little awkward, whether it be running into chair legs or falling off of tables, she did it all. She was also easily frightened, which was probably a result of her harsh living conditions. She was also pregnant.

My parents picked her up and took her with them, and brought her back to our house. She was believed to be about a year old or so, after taking her to the veterinarian. I was a baby at the time, but I had always loved Lucky ever since the beginning. I found myself having developed a special bond with her, as she came to me more often than others. She would sit on my lap a lot, and embrace me quite often. Whether it be me sitting in a chair reading, or me at my desk drawing, she would come up to me and nuzzle into me. She would nuzzle into my legs, arms, or against my head when I would sleep with her. She was my best friend.

She had been with me through some of my best moments, along with some of the hardest challenges I've faced. But, I knew I'd always find comfort in my pretty little kitty at home. I had watched her grow up, just as she had watched me grow up. 

She was always so nice, and so adaptive. That's the message I hope to convey to you. She learned how to navigate her way through life, even though she was basically blind. She adapted to my house, and eventually learned her surroundings so she'd stop running into things. She perservered and overcame all of her struggles, and lived an incredible life. I gave her all I could give, and I hope she enjoyed it. Be like Lucky. Don't let your problems define you, for you can always adapt and learn your way through it.

She is 17 as of now. She has slowed down, and struggles with her movement. She has also became sickly, and I don't think she deserves to suffer like that. So on Friday afternoon, I will be taking her in to the veterinarians office to have her put down. She deserves to rest, as she has given everything she has had, and then some. She was my ride-or-die, and I think she's more than earned her rest. 

Thank you for your time. It means so much to me, and I hope you can find hope within this that can help you with your own struggles.

With much love,

-Festive.
