My beloved cat Chelsea passed away suddenly 2 days after her 18th birthday and only a week before I would have celebrated 10 years of having her.
She meant a lot to me, I’d love if anyone drew her. It would mean the world to me <3
After 18 years (10 of which spent with me) Chelsea had to be put to sleep yesterday. It was sudden despite everything, Saturday morning she was as active as usual. I left for an overnight trip, and when I came home the next afternoon I found her lying in a closet, panting and gagging.
We took her to the emergency vet, but all they could really tell us was they had no idea what was wrong and it was going to cost 2k to even figure that out. Money I don’t have.
I made the hard decision that, I wanted her to pass with dignity instead of spend hours getting poked and prodded just to find out it was so likely something un-fixable.
She lived an incredible life full of love and support. She was everything to me for a long time, and got me through some of my worst times. I know if she was here now she’d be curled up with me (or probably yelling for food but, y’know)
It sucks, It hasn’t even been 24 hours but It really sucks, I miss her so bad. I don’t even know if Valentine (who we’ve had since a kitten, and has only known a life with her) knows what happened. He doesn’t know why his sister isn’t here.
I just moved into my new place (renting) and trying to plan how I want to set it up, I’m running into an immediate concern.
I want to have a ‘living’ room style area where I can have a TV, and some seating for guests. But seeing the whole place together I’m not sure which room to use, or how to set it up.
Picture 1) This is the first room you enter. The front door is where I’m standing (at a slight angle), the door on the left goes to the master bedroom and the door on the right goes to the kitchen. This is the preferred room, but I’m not sure how I’d set it up. Especially because I think a window AC unit is going to go in the window. So I can’t cover it.
Picture 2) Second option is the 2nd bedroom. It’s farther into the place, the door the picture is taken from is the kitchen and the door across goes into a ‘sunroom’ I plan to keep my plants & cats litter boxes.
I have a decently sized media stand I’d like to keep (It’s like an old school, built for CRT, storage on the side) but aside from that I’ll be getting new furniture.
If you made it this far thank you, any ideas are definitely appreciate.
