We knew this was coming for a while. About a year ago she started sleeping nearly all day, I mean even a lot for a cat. She stopped eating kibble, and then even wet food. For the last several months I've been blending up chicken breast and liver with a nutrient supplement (AlNutrin) for her, that's the only thing she'd eat. I've burned through two KitchenAid blenders doing it, can't recommend that brand of kitchen appliances right now, but maybe their warranty will change my mind. I doubt it.

Yesterday she threw up her food all over herself and her bed. She didn't even complain that much as I washed her. Today she isn't eating, barely drinking, I don't think she has long now. I don't know whether to let her pass naturally or have a vet put her down. She's not in any obvious distress so we may let nature take its course.

I put her outside since she loves our patio. I figure that's where she'd most want to be. She has water, although I can't put food out there because it attracts ants. She's not eating anyways.

She survived her sister Kiki, who passed of saddle thrombus, a terrible way to die. She will be survived by Gizmo, the brother she never wanted. I really wish she didn't have to deal with a kitten at the end of her life, but we didn't decide to get him, he was abandoned at 4 weeks old, infested with mites, and needed a home. He wasn't mean to her exactly, but he wanted to play and she wanted nothing to do with him.

Peaches always hated other cats, even her sister. I think her happiest day was when Kiki died. Oh well, we have Gizzie in the bedroom so as not to bother her in what I'm assuming are her final hours.

p.s. the dark stuff in the photo is soil from the patio, she had been laying in it. I know it kinda looks like poop but it's not.
