For everyone who has followed her, Artemis died this morning in the warm embrace of my partner , Chris. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of intestinal cancer on Saturday and after consultation with our vet, it was obvious that she would not survive any form of treatment. We gave her a Steroid injection to lessen the inflammation and brought her home to cuddle for a few days.
Artemis came to us five years ago after she was abandoned on the front porch of my employer. We thought she was a kitten since she was so small, but after an exam at the vet, we discovered she was four. She lived a full and wonderful life, surrounded by loved ones, and other cats to torment. She just turned 9.
RIP Artemis, 2004 - 2013.
