Tick, RIP

The young stray cat Olympia and the kids took in some seven months ago has succumbed to the disease she already had when we got her and had to be put to sleep Tuesday. We had named her Tick in reference to the dog tick she also had when she joined us. What she had was Feline Infectious Peritonitis, which is incurable and fatal.

She really was quite a friendly one, and it's too bad she had such a short life, but I'm glad we had an opportunity to make her last months very comfortable. She'll be missed.
