R.I.P. Girl
Just yesterday, Mom told us that one of the cats I've known for ages, Girl, was going to be put down on Monday. It seems age finally caught up with her (she was fifteen). Cindy wrote that Girl was losing weight for a while and, when she took her to the vet, she found out that Girl's kidneys were failing. She was to be put down on Monday.

The only other time I heard about a cat I knew well being put down was a stray Siamese cat Cindy took named Max. He was blind in one and shortly after he stayed with us, we learned that he had cancer. Max was a sweet cat, too, so it broke my heart to hear that.

When I heard the news about Girl, I bawled like a baby. I couldn't help it. I've known this cat for majority of my life. A big orange tabby that would always meow her head off at you until you sat down and pet her. She would also get in your lap and lick the skin almost clean off your arm. Before Bevis ever warmed up to me, she was the only one of the two I could get close to and pet. I loved her like my own cat.

So it's going to be strange going to Cindy's house this summer and not seeing the duo. Because that was how it had always been - Bevis and Girl. Those two would always cuddle up together. One time when Cindy accidently stepped on Girl's tail, Bevis bit Cindy's leg in retaliation. Whenever Bevis would cower to Tasha, a white deaf cat that was once owned by my other aunt, Girl would always hiss at her and there were times those two girls almost started fights.

This morning, Mom came into my room and told me that Cindy decided to have Girl put down and cremated today. I'm guessing Cindy realized she couldn't hold on to Girl much longer and that this was best for her (she couldn't stay to see her put down). Mom said that Cindy wanted me to find an air-tight container. Cindy had written that, when her and Poppa came for a visit, that we were gonna bury the ashes in the backyard. 'Cause this was Girl's birthplace and her nickname was Texas Tumor. So that's what I'm doing today.

In a way, besides mourning a cat I've felt so close to, I feel relieved. It would be terrible for me to go to school Monday 'cause I would have Girl-Girl on my mind the whole time and we're doing a bunch of important things on Monday. Also, I know she's in a better place. Where Max is.
