Fluffy's checkup

Fluffy has heart problems, a heart murmur, possible kidney issues, major
weight loss (25%), etc. In short, she's very old (17-1/2).

She's now on heart medicine, and vitamin B to increase her appetite.

The vet doesn't think she's in pain, so it's too early to euthanise her,
not that I'm particularly eager to go through *that*. If we are both
lucky, she'll just die quietly in her sleep sometime in the next year or
so.

Sending purrs that when it happens it will be gentle and peaceful. MLB

I'm sorry to hear she has all those problems, but glad they aren't bothering
her. Best wishes for both of you.

I'm sorry to hear this.

It's so sad, watching an elderly cat slowly fade away

Sending purrs that she never suffers, and does go to the Bridge in her
sleep; that's SO much easier than making THAT decision

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.
