I want to thank all of you for the support and thoughts. Mikey took a turn for the worst this morning. I watched him passed away about an hour in a half ago. I don't think he was in any pain.

I had the worst feeling the last few days. I’ve felt something wasn’t right. So I came home to visit with mom and dad. Maybe it was the tone of my parents’ voices when I spoke to them, but I had the feeling something was wrong.

It turns out my cat Mikey has had a stroke. This will be the third one that we know of. His first stroke happened about 3 years ago. The second was last summer. Each time it’s been like he needed to relearn things, but each time he’s also seemed happy and comfortable. Each time he has made an almost full recovery. The difference now is that he hasn’t hardly eaten his kitty kibble in the last 4 or 5 days.

Mikey is comfortable right now, he’s laying next to me with his head against my leg and purring. He is afraid to be left along right now and if he things anyone in the room is getting up he’s yelling and trying to follow, but he cant. This is breaking my heart.

We don’t have money for a lot of vet bills and if we did, I think I know what they would say. Mikey doesn’t seem uncomfortable, or like he’s in pain. Until he does, we’re going to play it by ear. If we’d listened to the vet the first time this happened he wouldn’t of lived the last three years. I keep telling myself that. It’s so hard to know what the right thing is. I can’t think….
