I've buried a few over the years, but losing Bel is by far the worst - she was with me the longest, constant as the northern star. I always imagined she should get a Viking funeral, but that didn't happen. I have some slabs left from when the decking was put in- she'll at least get one of those over her.

Bel just died in my arms about ten minutes ago. She had just jumped up to steal some ham from Lesley's plate, then came over to the side of my chair and collapsed and started coughing (not the ham, but like on Monday). I picked her up and held her against my chest, and she coughed and gasped a bit then passed in a couple of minutes. Now I'm going to bury her under a starlit full moon, in the back garden.

Bel's still behanving normally, and eating and drinking but not as much as she usually does. Still preferring Temptations above everything else. I do suspect she's in her last weels, (hopefully not days, and certainly not hours like we thought yesterday.)

Bel just ran through to the kitchen with no hip wobble, and was scarfing Whiskas Temptations and I gave her a whole tin of sardines.I think she maybe doesn't like the Whiskas pouches we've got. Wait, no, she hasn't eaten much of the sardines at all - she's returned to her spot in the living room, But she seems to have had some milk and eaten the Temptations. And at least she was moving normally, though

Bel has started to stagger at the back and slump a bit today... Well, we all know what that means.

Since there is no current Mogjesty here, senior cat B'Elanna prefers the title of El Presidente - and she is 16 today!

So I took these pictures a few hours ago... She's just had some prawns - her particular favourite (apart from curry.... and pork...) to celebrate.
