Sami was supposed to turn 18 next month. She was not supposed to leave me yet. But she had severe kidney disease and couldn't wait any longer. She had meds for her thyroid, to increase her appetite, and to reduce her phosphorus level and her nausea. I gave her sub-Q fluids. I gave her "people tuna" to get her to eat, plus anything else I thought she would like, but these last couple of days she didn't want anything but water. She lost a lot of weight, but she stuck by me and slept on my chest at night. During the day she sat draped over my shoulder.

Sami was originally one of my fosters, but when it came time to take her to an adoption, I couldn't let her go. We were best friends for nearly 18 years. She was the ambassador of the house; when anyone came over, the other kitties all ran and hid. Not Sami Jane! She greeted the new person and stuck by whoever it was until they left. She "helped" any contractor who came to the house. She was friends with everyone.

Sami, I am devastated. I love you so much. I don't know how I'll sleep tonight without you. I miss you terribly.
