so... apparently im dying. i have tumors and i can no longer move my right hind leg. i supposedly have something called lymphoma, possibly because my parents were feral cats.
i've had a pretty good run, though. not very long, but good. i can always hope for a miracle, but i dont fear death.
"Death smiles at us all. All a man (or cat) can do is smile back."
"To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men (or cats) can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they know quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?"
or maybe, its just because of this....
"Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills. "
