W.P. 1991?-2011
Three of us went to the vet clinic tonight. Two of us came home, leaving a large piece of our hearts behind.
Sometimes doing the right thing hurts like hell.

“So what’s the deal with all the diabetic cats?”
I’ve read that it’s estimated that one in 400 cats will become diabetic – I’ve read that a few places, though I’m not sure which study/ies are being cited. My own vet feels that diabetes in cats is on the rise, although I question whether it’s really on the rise or if pet owners are…
Latin, Squirrel and Call-backs.
I had my final Latin class last night. It’s a case of “I’m going to miss it, but I’m glad it’s over.” There were three students there last night, down from nine – 66% attrition rate. The course was very much what I expected, but I think some of the other students who took it…

Odd. Coulda sworn I’d made another entry since Christmas. Time flies when your having a life. Cats Seems I always start off with a cats update. If I had the time, I’d ponder what this said about me. As it is, I’ll just write it off as sad, unworthy of further speculation, and move on….
Yeah, well.
We’re going to be upping the ante on this disease. Beginning Wednesday, I begin something called PUVA therapy. Consider it a somewhat benign cross between radiation and chemo therapy. I take a drug, methoxasalen two-and-a-half hours or so before being put into a UVA light box for 15 minutes. The period of time will never…

Dr. Ortho has cleared me for active duty. I can return to work Monday. Yippee.
Day off.
I didn’t sleep again last night. It has become impossible to lie down and get comfortable. As much as I hated to, I called in sick this morning and took the day off. I wouldn’t have been safe behind the wheel, much less working around the animals at my job. Since I’d already arranged to…
Oh yes it does â¦
hurt like hell.
I’m so sorry.
Oh no, poor WP. And poor Salamander and Prof. Thinking of you all 🙁

I’m so sorry. She’ll leave a huge gap.
WP had such presence that I feel as if I knew her, even though I never had the privilege of being subjected to her steely gaze.
Please pass on my condolences to the Professor, the one member of your family whom I’ve been lucky enough to meet in person.
Oh, I’m so, so sorry. My condolences to you and especially to the Professor, as he was her human "slave." I’m sure she will be sorely missed. Please give him a hug for me.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Condolences and ((hugs)) to you both. You guys gave her a wonderful life, I know.
I’m so sorry.
We are so sorry! She was some cat. You must feel such a void. Twenty years is a long time. She obviously had the best of slaves. Hubby says, "Tell her I’m sorry to hear it, and I can sympathize with the loss of their pet very deeply."
I think I just saw him wiping his eyes.
I’m so sorry but you’ve given her the best gift by letting her go before she really suffered. Were I a cat you’d be my choice in a human.
So sorry for you and the prof. one of the hardest thing you can have to do.
So sorry….
