She is very ill, and might not make it through the night, so I thought a picture of her on a happy day would cheer me up, and perhaps others.

What is her name and can you share a story about her with us? Our love to you both

[–] Ifera@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Her name is Navi because my ex and I are geeks, and ever since she was little and we rescued her, she has always been very vocal, and loves shoulder rides.

Last time she was sick, I thought she wouldn't make it, but here she is. Full recovery except big kidney-little kidney syndrome, and after 5 years of living life at its fullest, she is unwell again. I truly hope she proves me wrong again, and brightens my life for 5 more years, but even if she doesn't, I will forever keep her in my heart and keep doing what brought us together, fostering cats in need, and helping them find a forever home.

She is almost 10, and I love watching her rule the house and my other two cats with an iron fist.

That is an adorable name and I wish all of you the comfort you need and Navi the health she deserves. As painful as it can be for you, being with Navi makes it less painful for her. I cuddled my dog extra tight last night thinking about Navi.

I know, I've been sick before, and how I feel when sick and alone vs sick and covered in cats, it is surprising how much difference is there. So, time to return her kindness, I am currently in my sleeping bag cuddling with her and keeping her warm.
