Lacie’s World

On February 18, 2026 our Lacie Moonshadow left us. She had kidney failure and was too sick to eat or groom herself. She also lost part of her sight. Tom and I are grateful to have had her companionship for just short of eight years. She was about 13 or 14. Here are the final pictures taken at the vet. We told her she was a good girl, a beautiful girl and that we loved her and we would remember always.

June went into Tom’s room at about 3 a.m. Wednesday and woke him up. She was very sick, and getting worse. Soon he had to call an ambulance. She came home 5 hours later and told me she had colitis. I don’t understand that word. She wanted very badly to take a bubble bath, so I was her lifeguard and stayed with her. I’m a good and smart kitty, but I don’t understand bubble baths either. She is getting better.

I live in a fairly old apartment. It was built over fifty years ago, and is developing spaces where critters can get in. Last night I woke everyone at midnight because I caught a mouse, my very first one, and was loudly celebrating. Tom got out of bed and I presented it to him. He praised me, then he threw it outside. Everyone went back to sleep, and at 1:30 I proudly (and loudly) brought my second kill to June, and tried to hide it under her throw rug. Tom disposed of it, because June is stuck in bed, having injured her knee again. No, they did not take photos.

June is weaving again. I am keeping her company.
