I have sad news today. Domino’s thyroid finally got the better of her, and she’s been a pretty sick kitty for the past month or two. About six weeks ago she gave up on dry food, so we switched to wet food. That helped, but she gradually ate less and less of it. A couple of weeks ago she stopped eating entirely no matter what we tried. She’d lap up microscopic amounts of gravy or tuna juice a couple of times a day, but that was it. She just wouldn’t eat anymore.
By last week she was very thin, and her energy level was pretty low. She slept most of the time in her favorite hidey-hole, and came out only a few times a day for five or ten minutes at a time. By the start of this week she’d gotten a bit unsteady on her feet, and it was obvious the end was near. I talked to our vet earlier this week, and yesterday we took Domino in and had her put to sleep. I hated doing it, but I’m certain it was the right thing to do. She didn’t show it, but she must have been in a fair amount of pain, which was only going to get worse over time.
To the very end, she was sweet and sociable, which made it even harder. She lost her meow several weeks ago, but she never lost her purr or her love of tummy rubs. She was a good cat. She’ll be missed.

Happy Monday! Here is something wonderful.
On Saturday, six US servicemen put on what may have been, according to Stars & Stripes, the first drag show ever on a US military base.
The event was held on at the Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan to raise money for OutServe-SLDN, a non-profit that supports the military’s LGBT community. Organizers initially only expected to sell 75 tickets, but according to Navy Lt Marissa Greene, ended up selling 400.
The video of US troops lip syncing in drag to “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” as the crowd goes wild is amazing.
Once upon a time, gay and lesbian Americans who wanted to serve their country had to live in the closet thanks to a stupid policy called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” In the more than two years since DADT’s repeal, the US military has somehow not fallen into chaos and disrepair.
Tech. Sgt. Kristen Baker put it best to Stars & Stripes: “Everything is just accepted. It makes me really proud to watch it. We are all brothers and sisters no matter what.”
