Nature Leseul

The kitty didn't make it. :-(

He had some kind of blockage in his urinary tract. He'd just been collapsed on the floor since yesterday evening, since the buildup of toxins was weakening his muscles. I took off work and brought him into the vet this afternoon. They tried to operate and remove the blockage, but his heart gave out while he was anesthetized.

It's okay, though. It's just what happens. The universe is just a horrible place to live, for kitties and people.

He had a happy life, with lots of free food and things to jump on. He had more than would have been conceivable at any other time in history. The only reason why happiness is possible at all, ever, is because humans are working so hard to subdue malevolent nature and hold back the darkness. And sometimes the barriers were build are just not enough, and the darkness finds a way to invade our safe space. There's still so much to be done, before life as it ought to be is a consistent possibility for all the people and all the kitties.
