I never thought it could happen, but it would seem my most popular piece was beaten by roughly 1000 pageviews. My cat, Jynx, has taken his rightful place as number one in my life here on dA. However, I'm sadly here to relay the news that he had to be put to sleep today.



He's been sick the past couple of weeks and wasn't getting better at all. The vet we had been taking him too wasn't doing his job. We took him to an emergency clinic last night and they kept him over night to see what was wrong.

They called this morning and said that he was actually eating! My mom and I were so happy to hear that. He hadn't eaten anything solid in over a week. We took it as a good sign.

Then they called back a short while later. The vets had changed shift (it's a 24 hour clinic) and the new vet on call had looked him over and realized she had had previous cases like this.

It's a form of leukemia. And they said that, in the end, having him go through all the extensive care needed for it probably wouldn't grant us much more time and only put us in debt.

So now? I'm a crying, sobbing mess. I want to be there with him, but there is no way that I'll be able to handle it. I'm such a weakling of an owner. My mom is at work, so she can't very well go and I have to go to work in a few hours. If I went, I'd be late for work.

I hate my life, sometimes.

RIP Jynx. You'll be missed more than you can ever know..
