Paying the Toll for the Rainbow Bridge

The daughter of a friend rescued a stray cat a few years ago. His name was Fritz. Fritz developed kidney problems and diabetes. He was not amenable to being given meds or having his glucose monitored. Hell, it took a crew just to trim his claws.

In the last few days, his conditioned worsened. I volunteered to take him on his last ride.


He had just been sedated. A couple of minutes after this picture was taken, he fell asleep. Ten minutes after that, the veterinarian and a tech came in and gave Fritz the injection to end his suffering.

Farewell, Fritz. I hope you're running free, without pain, and chasing the mice to your heart's content.

    He had his time as a wild jungle beast, a few years with love, safety, and comfort, and then started an infinite nap. Good life for a cat.

    Sad coincidence: Our lovely black cat Petronius went missing Sunday morning. He came to us aged 7 months and was with us for 3, the last month as a free-ranging cat once he'd bonded to the house.

    We've made all the usual moves to find him, but I'm pretty sure he fell to a coyote.
