Yesterday, one of my older cats jumped on the sofa and nuzzled my wife briefly. My wife looked at me and said, “ I think she is saying goodbye.” Then the cat jumped down, walked to the fireplace, laid down, and died. This cat always had a supportive role, never lead. We often referred to her as the handmaiden.
We now have 5 cats. My wife and I are both past 70, so we have made the decision not to take in any more pets unless it is a life saving mission.
