TW: discussion of pet death
We had to put Ichigo to sleep yesterday. His health decreased rapidly over the past few days. I don't know what to do. I've had him since he was a kitten. The runt of the litter. Born on Halloween. The only black kitten. He had a bald spot on his head from where his mom over groomed him. I was 13. Now I'm 30. And he was 16. He went missing, he came back, he seemed to be doing better... I was so hopeful. But this was for the best. He's not hurting anymore. My sweet baby. I asked the vet if I could have a tooth. I know a person who makes jewelry out of bones. She said that was a first but they'd see what they could do. They were so nice. When he passed I lost it and the vet and the vet tech were both reaching over and rubbing my shoulders, my mom was rubbing my back, my dad was telling me to take deep breaths. That Ichigo was better now. They were able to get two teeth that were already loose and didn't charge us for it. Probably because it was an insane request.
We're getting him cremated. We should get the ashes in a few weeks. I'm going to my parent's house tomorrow for Easter and I'm scared I'm not gonna catch myself before I ask where he is. Anyways. What to do? What do I do now? I have no clue.
