MeToo passed on last night. We knew she wasn't feeling right, and Mark had made a Vet's appointment for today.  Sometime between 10:30 and midnight she had what appeared to be a stroke, and went into a never ending seizure.

We took her to the Vet Emergency in Wallingford, and said a sad farewell. She was a good cat, and 20 years is a long time for a feline. She was healthy and frisky for all of it, so a sudden leave taking, as sad as it is, is not such a bad way to go.

I feel the best way to memorialize is to tell a story about her so you know what kind of cat she was.  When we got Loki, we got incredibly irritated with the new puppy for chewing up pens and leaving ink all over the floor. We would repeatedly scold her and Loki would get  very sad.

One day I came into the kitchen and surprised MeToo on the table (where she wasn't allowed), batting a pen to the edge, where Loki innocently waited below wagging her tail, to see what treat the cat had in store for her.    It became clear that MeToo was sending pens to their doggie death, getting the puppy in trouble. Loki thought this was just a game the two of them had.

After being caught, and scolded (for which she showed not an ounce of contrition, other than at being caught) she never did it again.
