Zypo is gone.

Zypo died yesterday. My mom sent me an e-mail this morning...I just got it. I think she's as upset as I am. This is her e-mail in its entirety, minus e-mail addresses:

Dear Amy & Alex,

Daddy took Zypo to the vet yesterday afternoon and then buried him in the backyard. I'm sorry that we didn't have a happy ending.

Love and tears,
Mom

I know she was crying when she wrote that. I'm crying now--but I don't see that there was any other way out of the situation, unfortunately. I'll miss my cat, but I know he's in a better place now (hopefully, with people he can get along with...or maybe in a big house with bad people to bully). I'm going to be depressed for a while, which is a bummer, because our friend Jason is coming to visit this weekend, and I'm going to be weepy. Dammit.

Just so my local friends know--please do not call me about this. Leave comments here or e-mail me. I don't feel like crying on the phone. *hugs everybody* Thanks.

Have to go cry now. Will write more later.

I can't understand in the sightest how in the grand scheme of things that two weeks more wasn't worth your poor puss's life.
I will make an offering to Bast in his name, I know in some ways she'll be glad to have one of her most impassioned and most feline-like of her children close by her again. I suppose, like all deaths, if God did wanted him on earth, a different solution would have been found. But that doesn't mean I have to like it much.

*feels like crying* Elfie, I'm so sorry. If I were living up there, I would have taken Zypo in in a heartbeat. I wish there was more I could do at this point from where I am, but the best I can offer you is prayer, which I will DEFINITELY give. *snugs and hugs greatly* I know you don't feel like crying on the phone, but you know where to find me on ICQ if you EVER want to talk. I've had some experience in the past with the loss of some dear feline friends, and I know exactly where you're coming from. Love ya Elfie. *hugs*

my condolences
