I'm going to get the baby food this afternoon. Thank you, Debbie, for that reminder. I know that you know exactly what I'm dealing with, as so many of you do. She came downstairs, earlier, and let me hold her. I gave her milk, but she ignored it. I gave her canned food, which she ignored, too. I will try tuna later and see if she will eat it. And maybe the baby food will do the trick. Funny how there is no competition with Butter any longer. I guess she doesn't have the energy. She saves it for Mack, who has learned, through constant "No No" from me, to leave her alone most of the time.

I almost wish there were an obvious reason for her decline....a tumor, something......sounds sick for me to even type that out. It is just old age. Her kidney function is fine, her heart rate was off the map, but it was because she was so nervous at the vet. We'll just wait and see what Dr. Robinson says tomorrow and I might call Butter's vet. Dr. Anderson, too, just to get her input, since she specializes in cats. She has never seen Mimi, but she might have a suggestion. I'll do anything to prolong her life as long as she can enjoy living. Otherwise, I know what I must do.
