Early this morning, some time after midnight, our beautiful female ALC has crossed the rainbow bridge. Her cause of death is severe dehydration and also water in the lungs. We were unable to detect it early because she was still up and about until the last minute. Due to some issues, we overlooked her condition and probably relied a little too much on our maid - who was supposed to only care for Arya (and only the cats in our house) - to inform us if there are any signs of weird behaviour in any of our cats. Sadly, it was a wrong decision on our part. I guess it is true what they say, "If you want things to be done right, you have got to do it yourself". My dad is most affected by this because he is the one who really love ALCs.
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
We love you Arya. We hope you're at a place with no pain, full of love and surrounded by friends of all kitty ages and sizes. Thank you for being a part of our family.
