Today,
Actually,
It was my father's death day.
I went home and visited the grave,
I had dinner with my mother.
Here is the book I read on that day.
A book that lives happily until the last day with cats

Until now, I haven't read many cat care books.
Probably somewhere.
But
The other day,
Keika-chan was hospitalized.

Keika-chan was hospitalized. Shion's birthday celebration has been postponed. August 19, 2019

Keika-chan, 2 weeks after leaving the hospital-September 6, 2019
Keika-chan, 3 weeks after leaving the hospital, September 14, 2019
Fortunately she was discharged,
She still has anxiety.
(There seems to be a mass in the liver)
At that moment,
decides various things of Keika-chan,
Only me.
I have to think about this.
I decided to face it properly.
Therefore,
I read this book with cute illustrations.
From the life of a cat, it is important to have an old cat and skinship.
And the last way of taking care.
Honestly it was hard.
The story of the people who took care of the last domestic cat,
I read while sipping my nose with Komeda.
Recently I've fluttered just to deal with illness,
I did n’t communicate properly,
I did n’t massage or brush my teeth,
Reflected.
And
If I need to have a diaper or bedridden,
I was worried that I could do it.
The content that left an impression was
“Speak a little, this is also a great skinship”
Thank you for your easy skinship when you are busy.
then,
"Turning point when hands are gone"
It seems to be a turning point for thinking about the quality of life of a cat.
by the way,
Keika-chan is
A cat who hasn't been touched since the first time. . .
Conversely,
The cats that take their hands
They are still young--
Can I please?
And
“Determine the position of the owner”
“A person's view of life and death varies with age and experience.”
“In the end, thinking about what a cat wants you to do is just a projection of an individual ’s view of life and death. ”
Well ...
I want you to get as much pain as possible.
I would like to treat as much as possible if it can be cured, but I don't want to hurt so much if it doesn't cure.
Also depends on the cat.
"If the cat don't accept food and water, don't be overwhelmed, just boil it, just talk to it, keep it quiet. No one can stop the cat that has begun to walk on death. The most important thing is to watch with great respect and gratitude for your cat, who is trying to put an end to your life with your body. "
...
......
………
No more tears. . .
My father suddenly died.
It was normal that morning, but was found dead in the evening.
I don't think he suffered, but the surroundings were sudden and very difficult.
I couldn't say goodbye.
I don't know how humans and cats should end.
Even with such medical development, animal mortality is 100%.
It is inevitable.
Each time,
I wonder if there is no choice but to make the best choice.
I'm sure you'll regret it.
It was a book that made me think.
