The Meeting Cat Retires

 

Bree the Meeting Cat, as she was known to my colleagues at Pesticide Action Network, has cleared her schedule and will no longer be joining me in Zoom meetings.  A couple of weeks ago, we shared that Bree was in declining health and we were doing what we reasonably could to make her comfortable.  We knew she did not have much longer in this world, but she still had a purr or two for us up until (almost) the very end.

For those persons who have seen Zoom presentations or meetings where a black tail appears on the screen (but rarely much more of the cat), this is what she looked like from the front.  And yes, she did like to crawl into a sack or a box every so often (though much less over the past half year).

We made her final vet appointment for this past Wednesday afternoon. The vet agreed that the time had come.  It was fairly obvious to me because she simply sat in my lap as we drove there, putting up no struggle - but accepting all of the skritches we were willing to give.

Here's to a good life lived.
