My heading says it all. I am utterly heartbroken right now. I had no idea after my sister went home on Wednesday night that I was feeding one of my cats for the very last time. Not just any cat. Sushi. Our first cat. The OG. Our gateway kitty. She had lived with us for 12 years and her personality filled the room. Her loss is devastating and I want to remember her in this post and share who she was. Then, to round off and take even a baby step towards healing I am going to do a grief spread with my cat tarot deck.

How Sushi Came To Us

Sushi was rehomed to me, a friend of mine was unable to keep her and was sending desperate messages out on social media looking for a home. At the time I was living with my then boyfriend Mike and my sister who had moved in a few months earlier. We discussed it, and decided we wanted to take the plunge and get our first pet as a couple. Jayne was onboard too, so I called my landlord and got permission before contacting my friend and arranging everything. Sushi arrived that very night.
