She was ok until later this evening when she started panting and meowing. My dad took her to the emergency vet and they rushed her back. The doctor came out to my dad a minute later and said that her heart had given out while they were shaving her arm to put in the IV.
She was a fun cat and when I lived with my dad, she would help me with my college homework by laying on my notebook and after my late night shifts at Target, she would greet me at the door and follow me into the bathroom until it was time for pets and bed.
When my dad called me this morning to say he was taking her to the vet, something told me to go see her. We were going to meet my dad at the vet but he had already headed home so we met him there. The cat was in the carrier still so we took the lid off and I got on the floor to pet her. She had some stuff on her nose and mouth, so I wiped it off a bit and ended up spending about a half an hour on the floor with her. Petting her and talking to her. She seemed content by the time the husband and I headed out to the Lavender Festival.
As I grieve for the lost of my long-time friend, I have a cup of mint medley tea. I asked the husband for something calming and this is exactly what I needed. Spearmint, peppermint, and lemongrass. Soothing and comforting.
My loving friend lived a long and happy life and I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
Taffy, you will be missed. Xoxoxo
