    Logan (((HUGS))) It is clear how much you love this little one.
    Prayers for Mimi that she can stay comfortable for a long time.

    Logan, if the fluids help, that is definitely something that you can do at home so you don't have to keep taking her back to the vet.

    {{{{hugs}}} and prayers being sent.

    I hope all is going as well as it can. It sounds like you are doing exactly what your cat needs/wants you to do. Keeping her comfortable and seeing if she can rally, but letting her go if it is time for her to go.

    I have been in that spot so many times. It is never easy, but know you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    I just went upstairs to wake up Helen, who is going to an all day driving school today, and there was Mimi, cuddled up beside her in the bed. She said that Mimi never moved all night. At least she's where she wants to be even if she still won't eat for us. Helen had her purring last night, too. I know Mimi missed her when she was gone this past week.

    Thank you for your prayers. Apparently, the prayers are working becasue she seems content and comfortable and that is all I ask for. She won't be able to go on like this for long, but some more time is precious.

    Logan the fact that she is comfortable and not appearing to be in pain is a blessing in itself. I know that you love her and will do only what is best for her. (((hugs)))

    If she was snuggled up to Helen and purring....how lovely. Maybe Helen will be able to encourage her to eat a bit, even baby food.

    Different situation - but when Oscar was ill from antibiotics recently, he wasn't eating...but would lick plain yogurt off my finger! Moms have a special place, I guess.

    I hope Mimi stays happy and comfortable...and I know Helen will dote on her. Is there something with Helen's scent that Mimi could cuddle with during the day?

    I hope she has some more loving time left. She could not have done better than to have adopted the two of you! wow. What love and care.

    Oh Logan, this entire thread brings back memories and also brings tears to my eyes. I have been where you are..........and it just makes you heart sick to see them like this and not eating.

    You have been given great advice. I loved that she snuggled in with Helen last night and was purring.

    Bless you for giving this lovely girl a wonderful home all of these years.

    You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    I'm so glad to hear she was purring and curled up with Helen. Maybe between the fluids and having Helen back home she will show some improvement.

    More prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

    Logan, I'm so sorry to hear about Mimi. You're doing the right thing and all you can do now is to try to make her days more comfortable and give her all the love she deserves. I'll be praying for her. ((((HUGS))))

    I am sure the fluids will buy her some time. Filou who has kidney failure (at 10 ) now gets them weekly for more than a year and it seems to be not too bad for them- not like going through surgery and all these things. Filou forgets that we were taking him to the vet 10 minutes after he went there- so I hope it's the same with Mimi
