I think Miss Maya (my cat) is dealing with dementia

[chrono]

I am so very sorry about Ms Maya. I totally get it and it sounded just like my sister's cat - blindness that comes with old age. I am also sorry I didn't see this sooner. My deepest condolences.

I am so sorry VRBeauty...so hard to say good bye to a beloved pet even though we know its time.

20 1/2 years is phenomenal. Miss Maya must have had a very good life with you. Remember the good times and cherish the happy memories. After a couple decades of cats now, I have come to believe that cats move on to a different realm when they pass away. Cats are so loving and mystical, surely they don't just end. Travel on, Maya.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts.

I've decided that it's best for me to be without a cat for awhile. It's going to be strange, though, after thirty-five or more years of always having at least one cat.

Yesterday was a day to just be with my thoughts and memories. Today will be a day of dealing with the cat-related things that have accumulated over the years... from leftover food and medicine to kitty furniture to my small stockpile of kitty litter (priorities, priorities!). I suspect my local animal shelter will be very happy to see me!
