end of an era

Last week I had to have my cat (known as Pussy), put down.
It was unexpected and upsetting.
We've been through a lot together me and that cat.
We moved into a scary new home together and discovered painting, floor sanding, gardening and various other renovation type activities. I did all the work while she mainly slept however she always came home for dinner and a cuddle no matter what.  I am missing her. Pussy was 13 years old.
