It was sad as I watched my Tabby (almost 18 when he had to make that final trip to the vet) decline.

And zomg she's exuding nuclear cuteness. That is one outstanding little baby girl. Take good care of her.

My Koshka Yekaterina was a tiny little thing, too, and lasted to nineteen years before her kidneys failed.
As the Velveteen Rabbit said, even though you're worn and shabby but much loved, you "just become".
