A boy, about 10 years old, got to my clinic with his sick cat for cure. Thc cat was a tiny beautiful thing, about the boy's own
36 . I could see she was
37 very strong and lovely with the fur of a
38 and Tigress was her name. She
39 me with a friendly nub against my hand.
I
40 her and found a tumor(肿瘤). She had no
41 of recovery. I looked at the fresh-faced boy and back at Tigress. I began to
42 pity on the boy. At such a young age, he had to face to part with his beloved one.
I told him as
43 as I could what I had found, and what it meant. The boy's face twisted (扭曲) and turned away. I sat down and
44 Tigress to give the boy some time to recover. I felt Tigress's old beautiful fur
45 we discussed the possible choice with him: I could give her an operation, which would be very
46 and would not make her live longer than a month, or an injection and put her to sleep.
After some time, the boy accepted the reality. "I've seen her
47 recently, so I'd like her to die peacefully." I could see how
48 it was costing him in making such a
49 . I asked if he wanted to take her home overnight to say goodbye. He said he just wanted to be
50 with her for a few minutes. I went to get the
51 which I would use to put her to sleep. I could not control the
52 streaming down my face.
She fell asleep, her head
53 in his hand, lovely and quiet, but her owner now had all the
54 . "This is the finest
55 you could give. You bear the pain so that the loved one might rest." The boy nodded and he understood.
