Sad Wednesday

We are really sad to report that Roosa made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge on Monday evening. Äiti is pretty upset as she slept in Roosa's room each night and was kept in order by her yelling and demands. Roosa disliked other felines and was, to put it mildly, feisty with us, so she loved having Äiti all to herself, and Äiti appreciated her snark and paw of control (not forgetting the ever present Claw of Doom which was always extended and swift to swipe).

The photo below was taken on Sunday evening, as Roosa devoured scritches. Äiti had noticed something odd was happening: Roosa was really scared and sat hissing and growling as though her room had been invaded by us, but we were all outside. Äiti realised things were not good so gave Roosa painkiller which calmed her and made her very soppy and purry. However the fear and distress returned the next day, likely bought on by liver failure and the kindest, hardest decision was taken,

For Äiti and ystävämme eläinlääkäri this is the end of an era. About eight years ago Äiti rehomed the 'Muhos Gang' or Rilli, Ruska, Risto-Reipas and Roosa after their lovely human died far too young. Now the Muhos Gang have joined her and we know they are reunited as they should be. Run free, Roosa.
