I just had to put my darling cat to sleep today. She was 17 yrs old.
On the way to the death chamber Elton John was crooning "Circle of Life" on the radio. It was pretty heartbreaking.
Our cat was old (17) and had a tumor on her face. She definitely lasted longer than anyone would have expected.
This cat was special for my ex. We requested her before she was born from someone. So she was a very special kitty.
The cat was my ex's special girl. She probably received more affection than I did for many years.
Throughout our divorce my ex and I communicated about the cat via email. When she became ill in the Spring, about the time when my ex (who makes plenty of money) abruptly quit paying SS, I asked him about giving me money for vet bills and eventual euthanasia when the time came. He refused.
For the past 6 months he has emailed me, asking about the cat's health etc. It is amazing that she lived this long.
I guess I'm pretty upset about her demise but is it crazy of me to feel anger towards my ex because he refused to pay, even part, of the vet bills and euthanasia?
I'm probably more disappointed than anything. I thought he had some decency left in him. I guess it's safe to assume that if something happens to our son that I can't count on him.
Shitty day.
