Val Prieto has kept us all updated on the story of the stray cat that adopted him in the aftermath of a hurricane. Kiddo McFiddo had become one of the family. Unfortunately, the final chapter was written recently, and the ending wasn't a happy one. However, have to disagree with one of Val's comments:

I'm sorry, Kiddo McFiddo. You deserved better than me.

In a word: crap. When the kitten was too skittish to be approached, Val fed her. When Val noticed the kitten was injured, he had her taken to the vet, where the extent of the damage was diagnosed. The cost was prohibitive and the poor cat would never have been the same physically. Val made the right call, hard as it was. So a peaceful end, surrounded by loved ones, after months of being part of the family. Most of us should hope for such an end. Kiddo McFiddo was lucky to have taken up residence in Val's backyard.
