Neko the Cat: Total Bad-Ass (2008-2020) (Patreon)

As you may recall, I made a post in mid-May mentioning that my cat Neko was near death.

Well, as she had done several times before, Neko said "fuck that." Instead, she started eating, taking lots of palliative meds, and rallied for one last Hot Girl Summer. She fought intestinal cancer like a motherfucker. And she was enjoying life, doing the things she loved to do: sit and watch TV with Jen; lay in the sun; yell at squirrels; bop Boonmee on the head to remind him that he's a dumbass (but she secretly liked him anyway).

But last week, she stopped taking her meds, then stopped eating, and was increasingly uncomfortable, and we knew she was tired. She went peacefully today at the vet. And though we are deeply sad to have lost her, I can't help feeling fortunate for the life we got to share with her, and all the fight and resolve she showed in staying with us until she couldn't any longer.

Rest in peace, you phenomenal cat.

I will be back at it with actual film content and the like very soon. Thanks for your patience.
