vic the kitten

So I was just on the phone with my mom in San Diego, and in the middle of telling me the usual trivial neighborhood goings-on she mentions that my cat (who lives two doors down from her, with my brother) is sick and tomorrow they are going to take her to the vet to be put down. Then she segued calmly into the next topic, something about where my dad had taken the car that day or whatever.

Thanks mom, always great talking to you.
