Mimi is the neighbor’s beautiful little gray and white cat. She had a close call with a car the other day. Turned out, she’d been hit.
I wrote about her close call in Friday Fragments. I saw Mimi streak away and reported it to the neighbor. I’ve seen cats streak away from accidents only to succumb later.
Such was the case now. Mimi’s back end was injured. She dragged herself into the house and hid. My neighbors searched for her but couldn’t find her. Midnight that night, Mimi made a noise and she was found, along with the extents of her injuries. They rushed her to care.
Mimi could be saved. The price would be high. Her injuries were extensive, and the quality of life and her future would be very uncertain. Grieving at 2:30 AM, the people made the decision they thought best for themselves and their cat.
Coronavirus restrictions were broken as the vet allowed them to say good-bye.
It was the humane thing to do.
😢 Heartbreaking!!! Poor Mimi … 😢

I’m so sorry to hear that, and grateful that the vet allowed them to be with her at the end. When our Titus passed in the spring, our vet came here and we helped him pass on the front porch. I don’t know what I would have done if we couldn’t have been with him, and my heart breaks for all the people who’ve lost loved ones and couldn’t go into the hospital to be with them.
