What a difference a day makes!Ok, maybe not a day but Friday I posted this photo of our cats.
Thats braveheart on the left and
Kobi Tai on the right. They loved to watch the outside world.
Today we had family over for pulled pork.
The grand kids played with the cats chasing them throughout the house.
Then peace was restored when the boys went home.
Tonight, just a few minutes ago we were sitting watching tv.
A short time later we were toasting one of the cats. Kobi Tai (our Asian Leopard cat). As we sat on the couch we heard either a falling or running and a crash. The cats are always chasing each other or a fantasy prey.
We hesitated for a second and heard a moan. We ran by the windows and there on the floor was Kobi, on her side stretched out straight barely breathing.
We heard long moans, and her body started to heave. I told Karolyn, Kobi is dying. What, What are you talking about, she can't be, maybe she's hurt.
Slowly Kobi breathed slowly and moaned for the last time. She died right there as we watched.
Just before she died, I knelt down, petted her and felt the life leave her.
I know she's just a kitten. But being a member of the family, well, its hard to just say, "Oh the cat is dead".
The cat was brought home by our youngest Jack, who was going to breed the rare cat.
Jack is a tough man. I mean tough. Karolyn called him immediately and he arrived within a minute from next door.
To see a 6'2" 215lbs of tight muscle bend down and gently stroke his cat just brought up that emotion again.
Jack ran to the garage, returning with a box. He lifted her up and gingerly put her to rest.
We all just stared until Karolyn brought some glasses with Baileys. We stood over our Cat and all said some words.
Korny, it was a beautiful day today. The sky was clear and little see through clouds. I'm sure Kobi enjoyed herself looking at the birds.
Thanks little friend...
