Feline Follies

Thinking of a new coffee table to replace the section of plastic utility shelving I'm using right now.

Yes, there's a reason this is in "Feline Follies".

Very nice! The kitty would like that. Seems a big tall for a coffee table, though

Thanks!

I know, it looks HUGE! Actually, the shelves from the utility shelf that I'm using right now are about 21-inches high. This is exactly 21-inches high. What's even weirder is that the shelves are 36-inches wide while this is 42-inches wide.

21-inches might be tall for a coffee table, but it seems to work. I could probably cut this down a couple of inches, but I will say that I eat at my coffee table a lot. I sit on the floor in front of it and munch away.
 
Now that I've had a chance to process it. . .

Zoe had been lethargic the last week or so, rarely leaving her bed, and hardly getting up to eat or move around; then two days ago she stopped eating, but she was still sipping water from her bowl.

So, I made an appointment with a local vet to come in and have her examined after work tomorrow.

Tonight, while I was getting ready for bed, she started having difficulty breathing.

I called the 24-hour emergency vet and they said bring her in right away; so, I loaded her into her crate and hurried to the vet.

As I pulled into the parking lot, she suddenly stopped breathing.

The veterinarian rushed her into the emergency room where attempted to resuscitate and draw blood and begin an I.V., but she was suffering from complete organ failure and her veins collapsed and they couldn't hear any breathing coming from her lungs because they were filling up with fluid.

Zoe died on the operating table shortly before midnight.

Without an autopsy to determine cause of death, the veterinarian could only speculate; it could have been a virus, a stroke, or a hemorrhage or any number of things. At least it was quick.

The veterinarians were kind enough to leave me alone with her until she was cold, then I handed her off to them and signed the paperwork consenting to her cremation.

I'll get her ashes in a few weeks.

It's going to be lonely this Christmas.
