To the memory of Vas'ka
Vas'ka is my cat. Has been. He died three weeks ago. He was a great cat - large in size, kind in soul, adventureous outdoor street-wise cat, successful hunter.
He died young - as a result of rutine immunization causing complete organ failure. I don't know what gone wrong, vets do not know either.
Vas'ka died on my hands. He knew that he is dying. There was no reproach in his eyes, only а sadness.
I know he is in the cat's paradise now. And all birds, mice, squirrels and rabits he hunted down are there too - so he can hunt them again and again. And there are many other critters who would be his prey if not his untimely death.
Looking through the window or French door I am still trying to find Vas'ka, returning home after outdoor adventures or crossing the street or stalking his prey. I am still leaving the light at night on the back of the house - for him. Returning home I am still expecting him to come to meet me...
I wrote this entry almost immediately after Vas'ka's death, but kept it 20 days for myself.
Still the same
