Digit's Last Day

We had to put our geriatric kitten, Digit, to sleep today. A very nice vet came to the house and examined her, and agreed there really was no alternative. Too many of her organs were failing her, and I knew she was miserable. It breaks my heart; and, even though I know it was the right decision, I still feel guilty -- like I failed her, I couldn't fix what was wrong, I couldn't stop the pain, I couldn't stop the aging.

I took this picture today, one last afternoon of Digit soaking up the southern California sun.
