I just don't know what to do...

I met my best friend Misty 13 years ago when I lost my other cat to a dog attack. Back then I said no more cats. I'm happy my mother did not listen to me.
I named Misty after the cat that I had lost. Since I was still crying over phantom I thought being misty
eye would be a good name for her. Back then Misty was just a little fur ball...but with attuide.
As the years went on she saw me though good times as well as bad times.
Misty kept me company at night before I went to bed.
I would give her good petting before we went to sleep, and in return she would put her paw in my hand. We would sleep like that all night long.
Each time I brought someone home she would look them over as if to say "no, you can leave now."
When I bought home the "one" even before I knew he was the "one" she jumped on his lap.
I couldn't beleive it.

When it came time to move out of my parents home and get married I was going to leave Misty home with my parents. I was living 30 minutes away and thought
the drive would be too long for her (she hated going for rides in the car). I was told by my mother that Misty was searching the house looking for me. Going into each room
seeing where her friend had gone. So I decided to bring Misty to my home and my home is where she stayed. Soon Misty didn't like being the only cat in my house she was too use to having my dad's cat
around, who's name was Hopeless.
I could never get anything done, she would follow me everywhere, my independent cat was gone. So my husband and I got her a playmate. When we brought Frankie home
she looked at us like, you've got to be kidding me. Misty was a adult by now and seemed to be annoyed by Frankie's carefee spirted ways. Reminds me of how I feel when
I see some teens now a days. As Frankie got older they bonded. Misty would actually let Frankie bath her and vice versa.

As more time had past we would play with our cats, Misty loved swing in the bed sheets when they first came out of the dryer and play hide and seek with us. Even though she couldn't sleep by my
side anymore (and by the way she was not happy about that.) she always slept on our bed. Misty would always be looking out the window to see when I was coming
home especially those late nights coming home from work when my husband already went up to bed. It wasn't long till my husband and I wanted to start a family of our own. Misty knew I
was pregnant before I did. She was acting weird and wouldn't get off my lap. One night when my daughter was still a baby about 2 o'clock in the morning Misty was
crying in front of our daughter's door. My husband got out of bed and yells to me what Misty was doing. I just knew it was the baby! Sure enough He found our baby
face down in her crib. Misty got lots of loving that night. Then I was pregnant for the second time, but this time Misty was different she kept putting her face to my stomach
I was in some pain but didn't think much of it...ok I didn't want to think anything was wrong, but the fact was Misty was doing this, I begain to worry. The next day I had
a miscarriage. She never left my side that day or the days that followed. Four months later I became pregnant again and Misty happly sat on my lap and again she
knew before I did.

I could never type all of the times that Misty was there for me I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I'll never forget her hateing the vets and giving them hell everytime we visited them.
I felt like a embarrassed parent when your child behaves when you go out. She was tough and she let you know it. I felt pripileged that she had a soft spot
in her heart for me and consider me her equal, but no one else.

This last week of her life has been so hard to deal with. My best friend became sick. I didn't know what to do. We took her to a animal hospital on Saturday because she wasn't
eating, they told us that they thought is was a liver disease. Took her back to her vets on Monday, our vet thought it was a kind of liver diesease that she would recover from, but
wanted to do an ultra sound to make sure. Tuesday morning they did an ultra sound on her. Tuesday afternoon I was told the worst... she had cancer...there was nothing we could
do. It was time to put her down.

They took us into a room to be with her for a little bit. She was happy to see me. She didn't look sick at
all. Was even waging her tail.
I was trying not to cry, I didn't want her to know that I was upset, but that was hard to do.
The vet came in, Misty was on my lap when they gave her the sedative and true to Misty's form she jumped down and hissed. The vet was apologizing for Misty's reaction
I told the vet that I wouldn't except anything less from her. As my husband and I said at the same time "That's Misty". When she was out they put her on my lap again, Then they did the rest.
When I was asked by some why would I want to be there when they did this, I said how could I not. She had been there so many times for me. In sickness, disapointments, and death of love ones in my life. Even the Birth of my children. It was the one thing I could do for her in her final moments.

I lost it, my best friend was gone, I was pleading with God...holding her to my face....telling her that I love her....then something inside me said it was time to go.
Was it God? Was it Misty? I don't know,
But I left.

This is hard. There is so much more I want to say.
Misty I will love you forever, I will remember all of the great times you gave me, and how you changled me with your attuide ( you were always the boss).
Please visit me in my dreams and never leave my side. Until we met again I have your bed and collar waiting for you.
Love you....
