Rest In Peace, Bonbon

A few years ago, my family found a little black cat in our backyard. She was a tiny gremlin, mostly deaf due to an infestation of ear mites, but super friendly and affectionate. And so, with rain coming soon, we brought her into the house, amongst our other cats.

She lived a happy life with us~! But last year, we noticed some lumps, and it turned out she had ovarian cancer. Surgery and recovery wasn’t fun for her, but she recovered, and was super energetic and happy~!

But alas, a few months later, the lumps returned, and she started getting lethargic again. With how rough the surgery was on her last time, we didn’t want her to have to go through it again and again, because the cancer she had was clearly an aggressive variety, and would have taken multiple surgeries just to get the lumps she had out of her, and even more when it inevitably returned.

So we made the hard decision to spare her from that, and let her sleep. She has now crossed the rainbow bridge.

She had a good life with us: much better than she would have had previously! She got to see several Christmases, eat human food we snuck to her during mealtimes, and received tons of pets and happiness ☺️~! We gave her a good life, and have now sent her off well!

Here’s a couple pictures of her, from the first picture I took after we brought her into the house, to some of her favorite places in the house. Like standing in the bathtub to be pet while I changed catboxes, and sleeping on top of the cat tree she loved so much, resting on her favorite blankie~!

She went to sleep being pet by my mom and I, resting on that favorite blankie: few better ways for a cat to go! We’ll miss her, but we will also cherish the memories we had with her!
