100 Posts in 100 Days: Day 42

Morpheus is hanging in there, but it doesn't look promising. If he doesn't pass naturally over the weekend, unless we see drastic improvement, we'll be making the last trip to the vet with him on Monday.

This is really hard. He's a rescue, so we *think* he's about 13. It's possible he's older, and the vet said that the average lifespan for cats is 14-16. I picked him up from the humane society a couple of hours before he was scheduled to be put down--no one had claimed him or wanted to adopt him.

So we have had him for 12 good years, years that he wouldn't have had at all if we hadn't taken him. But it's not enough time. I suppose if he had been one of the rare 20 year old cats, we still wouldn't feel like it was enough time.

We're keeping him comfortable, that's all we can do.
