RIP Chase

My mom had to put her cat down today. Chase was 17 years old and lived a great life. I remember when I was almost 9 years old, we walked to the neighbors house to look at the kittens his cat just had. Of course, my brother and I made a huge stink for my mom because we wanted to take one home, where mom wasn't so interested in that idea. Well, Shawn and I won the argument and Chase came home with us. She was such a friend...

I just got off the phone with my mom, who is understandably upset, and I can't help but think of the time that I will have to do that, or my kitties would leave me. That's sad! My coworker said, "it's just a stupid cat, why is she so upset?" Well, she has been with it for 17 years and after my brother and I moved out, Chase was what she had left. That and I know when mine pass away, it will be devastating because they are like my children. I love them so much and they are a joy to have. Chase will be missed and please keep my mom in your prayers. She is having a HORRIBLE time with this...
