Giselle is dying.
A month ago the doctors found a tumor in here stomach. It's grown and has gotten hard - taking the place of her stomach. She care barely walk to the potty. She hasn't eaten anything for two days now. She has a warm blanket from which she does not move. She must weight a pound and a half now, if that. She can still purr, she always could. It's a matter of hours.
She's been a member of the family for 13 years. She survived a brain tumor when she was 6 - we figured she's cure herself of this one too, that that's not looking promising. She was found abandoned in Bremerton, WA. We picked her from available adult cats for adoption from the SPCA because she still had all her limbs. Her foster parents loved her so much that they quit the cat foster home program because it hurt for them give her away - even to a good home like ours. She'll be missed. Another cat will probably adopt us, but Giselle will always be the awesome one.
Here she is on her "twilight blanket".
Here she is in better times, when the fish were plentiful and she still peed outside.
Fukking awesome cat, Giselle.

Giselle passed away this morning. Last night, as a last surge of energy, she rolled over on her back, showed her matted fur belly and cut loose with a rattling purr and a glazed look in her eye. That was my last view of her. My wife found her not breathing this morning. It was still warm under where she was sleeping.

RIP Giselle. Sleep warmly in your twilight blanket.
So sorry Twisted. She looked like a lovely cat. Glad she had a good purr at the end there with her humans.

Sorry Twisted Crank for the loss of your kitty.
It's good that she was able to die at home in a favorite place.
