For those who don't read my other journal, we found out today that our cat Max has terminal cancer. We don't know how long he has, but we're going to just go with the flow. He'll let us know when it's time to let him go.

This has been a terrible summer. We've lost so many friends in our circle - I'm beginning to wonder if I'm some kind of Typhoid Mary - everything I touch, everything I love seems to be dying at the moment. And don't talk to me about getting a new cat. I don't want a new cat. I want my cat.

I know it sounds childish, but it's so not fair. Why does it have to hurt so much?

Pets are family members just like children and spouses. We grow attached to them and it hurts when these kinds of things happen. Like family members, everyone dies, but it's always hard to let go regardless of that spot in the family. The Household sends our Condolensces.

Thanks. It means a lot to Argus and I that everyone is so sympathetic. :)
