Arlyn, I'm so sad that you are going through this but I have to tell you I truly admire the way you are handling this with Spaz and with your family, and the way that you are communicating about it.
It is so difficult to let go of one you love so much, but it is extremely obvious that Spaz is wanting to call some of the shots (typical tortie!) right up until the end. And your love for her is so strong.
My heart is with you - I hope you and she enjoy every little moment you have left together as best as you can, every last purr, every last heartbeat.
Many more and lots of
and
for all of you.

I'm sending many vibes for Spaz. How is she doing?

She is much the same as yesterday.
She slept on the pillow next to me took three trips to the litter box, drank each time she got up and ate once.
She groomed Jade this morning, then smacked her.
You can see though that her breathing isn't normal, though she isn't struggling for breath like she was on Sunday. Still a slight rattle though.
Her back end is extremely weak, but she still insists on lying on the counter, so I just leave things that she can climb.
She has bouts of confusion, and incontinence, but overall, she still wants to be here, her eyes are bright, she's still a pig and she's still the reigning alpha.
I'll continue to support her as long as she wants to fight, unless she is in obvious pain.

I am glad you are doing it like that.
Sorry she does not have much time left.

What a special kitty, and what a special Meowmy! Enjoy your last days together, every tiny morsel of them. Sending lots of for lots of good moments, and an easy passing for sweet Spaz when she decides it's time.

Spaz has decided that she'll stay awhile.
She's still a bit weak, but last night she went back to completely normal behavior patterns.
It's nice to see my queen elevator butt feeling herself.
Her breathing is off, which is to be expected, but she's had no potty accidents in 24 hours now, and she very vocally demands her morning baby food (Spaz is not generally vocal about anything but food).
TCS magic is wonderful, I asked for her to have streangth or peace, she got a reprieve instead.
Thank you everyone

Yay! Glad you're staying around, Spaz!
Arlyn, I am so happy to hear that Spaz is feeling better. More vibes that she will stick around for a good long time.
And of course, lots more that she'll want to stick around for a good while.
