Thank you all for your words of comfort. Her last day seemed very normal and happy. She ate her supper. I went out on the deck to take out some compost around 9:30 p.m. and she was having seizures. We wrapped her in a towel and took her to the emergency vet, where she died…

Squirtley Dirtley O’Neill July 1997 – December 27, 2007 The Story of Squirt

I haven’t stopped blogging, but the little energy that I’ve had has been going to other things. Mainly, work, class, and worrying about my little Squirt. A wonderful Slow Food event last night, but I’ll have to write about that later. I’ve known deep down that something was not right with Squirt for a while.…

(It seems to be a good time to write about Squirt the Buddha Kitty in honor of Clare, the regular host of Weekend Cat Blogging, who was injured by her beloved Kiri while trying to protect him from an attacking dog. Clare has been in the hospital from cat bites since last Friday. Here’s hoping…
