The beautiful Lily was put to sleep last night. It was very peaceful. She had a joyous, healthy life almost until the end. 6 years ago, when I moved into my condo, I made a heartbreaking decision not to take Lily with me. She’d been an outdoor cat for 12 years, and I couldn’t bear to bring her into an apartment where she would be stuck inside all the time. I left her in loving hands where I used to live, and visited her often. On warm summer days, Lily loved to sit in the garden and at night she cooled herself beneath the car. She enjoyed long walks around the block beside the dog. She was the best sleeping companion. I spent a few hours nuzzling with her on Sunday, knowing it was our last time together. Lily taught me about love and I’ll miss her.
