My roommate's cat died. She became anemic; she got better, and then relapsed again and he decided to take her to the vet. Next thing I know, he's euthanized her (I think he was a little too hasty… but the vet told him over the phone how she was doing badly and he took it at face value, I guess. He didn't ask me what I thought or anything, either…)
I kind of miss her already. She was a great cuddler; I'd taken to napping on the couch with her on my belly. I don't really blame him, because she's always had various health issues, but I still feel bad for her anyway.
A week or so ago I saw her perkier than she'd been in ages (even when feeling good, she was rarely super playful; I think she ran after a laser pointer one or two times at most). This all happened so fast. Video is from last Tuesday, before the relapse. [i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/9YYRtoX.mp4
At least she knew some happiness before she left the world. You gave her lots of love and I'm sure she appreciated it. Poor sweet baby. That's a nice clip of her playing with you, she seemed like a nice kitty. So pretty, too. I'll miss the pics of her curled up in your lap. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Thanks. She was one of the nicest cats I've ever known.
But yeah, for 18 billion? If my friends wouldn't find out, definitely. Actually, for 18 billion, maybe I'd even do it in front of them. That's… a fuckton of money. I could start a puppy shelter with the money from killing that one puppy with probably $1M or something to make up for it, and then still have $17,999,000,000 dollars left to get a decent house, a nice, pristine Volvo 240 wagon or three, pay off my loans, and then use the rest to advocate for software freedom or something; IDK. Or maybe I'd just found a startup company for some stupid idea I have that no one would ever work on or want otherwise.
Or maybe I'd found a Red Hat competitor to try to eliminate Systemd.
Would I feel bad? Definitely. I'd probably have to do the 'kitten drowning in a bag' thing or I'd never be able to go through with it. But I think the ends might justify the means, unless the 18bn was coming from D.B. Cooper (tracked serial numbers), or the puppy was the reincarnation of Jesus, or something.
