Thank you all, again.

Helen will be home tonight, after being gone all week. If anyone can get her to respond, it will be Helen. I'm going to have her spend some one on one time with her and also see if she can get her to eat.

I know everyone handles these situations with seniors differently, so please don't be angry with me for the way I have decided to handle this. No more bloodwork, no more trips to the vet. If he can help me find something to stimulate her appetite, I'll do it. I have a call into him about that now. But I'm not going to put this cat through lots of tests and trips to the office at this stage of her life. I love her too much to do it. Mimi had a good checkup just two weeks ago. He stated then, she is just old and tired. Her poor little heart was about to jump out of her chest. I simply cannot put her through that again.

I have already experienced letting one pet live too long out of selfishness. I had to help Scott when it came time to let Murphy go because he would have done the same thing. With Zipper, things happened faster and escalated within a month. His situation was a bit different than Mimi's, as was Murphy's.

I am going to keep my faithful companion as comfortable as I can for as long as I can, but I will not let her suffer. I promise. I hope you all understand my position on this. If she were younger, I might take a different approach. I hope she will go to sleep one night in her favorite spot, when it is time, and just not wake up. I can't bear the thought of losing her, especially on the heels of such recent losses in our little family. She has always been #1 for me, as you know.

Thanks for listening to me go on and on and thank you for caring and making suggestions. It means a lot.
