A Tribute to My (soon-to-be) Dead Cat 03/14/2016 This week my family and I made the excruciating decision to put our old, family cat down. I have a lot of feelings about this - too many to express in ordinary words. So many, in fact, that I can’t speak about this out loud yet and even writing it down is difficult. Let me explain a thing or two here. Cobweb, said old, family cat, was bought as a birthday present for my mother, Patty.
