Had To Put Betty Bucelli Down This Morning [View all]

She was a big girl. Most of her life she was mid to high 20s pound kitty.
In the last couple months, she shed weight dramatically.
This morning she was leaking blood. My wife decided it was time before she really started to suffer.
This is her with Vincent keeping an eye on her.

She was close to 14.
Sad day around here. I don't think Vincent or Greta (her kitty sister) realize she's gone yet.
