I know I am suppose to be happy right now--our realtor, Gwen, called to let us know the papers have been signed and we are now down to only one house! For a short while in July we had two houses and an apartment all at the same time...yikes! But, I am not happy, not happy at all. My dear kitty Smedley is so not doing well. Dh came home early today to go with us to the vet. They took some blood from Smedley to do some tests, but couldn't get very much b/c he has no energy and they couldn't wear him out that much and brought him back to me. He has been in his kitty taxi all night, except when I took him out to syringe some watery wet cat food and water to him. I got a little bit in him, and you could just see how exhausted and drained he is. He hasn't eaten all week.
Tomorrow we should hear back if this is something that medication can help or if this is something like his liver giving out on him and that there isn't anything we can do. He has been my special kitty for 17 years now, and I just can't imagine life without my tether. He hasn't slept beside me for two nights now, and I know he won't have the energy to get out of the bathroom tonight.
I've been praying so much this week, for my dear little friend--and ask for prayers for him from any of my friends who know how dear my Smedley is to me. I am so run down and emotionally drained from grieving for his state of health...I hope he can get better soon. I don't want to wait too long like we did with Joe, two winters ago. It is so devastating to see our little animals draw close to the end.

Reading about your cat's illness brought back memories. I lost my 15-year-old cat, Garfield, last winter. A lot of people don't understand how important a pet can be to you. I hope that Smedley was able to pull through, but, if not, I wish you peace and comfort as you mourn. There is no replacement for the love of a good cat.
