Originally Posted By melekalikimaka <<Good times!>> Heehee. I love that expression. I used to love following my mom through the grocery store making funny little comments to annoy her. Once I was watching Martha Stewart's tv show and her mother cooking together. Martha was making little comments to tease/annoy her mom. Her mom just kept cooking and ignored Martha. You could see how amused Martha was. I thought it was pretty funny. Has anyone seen the movie "Mother" w/Albert Brooks? The scene where they go to the grocery store totally cracks me up. "It's the 90's, it's Fancy Jam time!"

Originally Posted By MissCandice I could use a little mellowness. The vet said to bring Tom in when he was immobile, not eating. Well, he is still walking around and eating but he is a walking skeleton and I do have to help him onto my bed. His quality of life seems good, he is alert, purring, and bright-eyed but I am concerned that my selfishness in not wanting to let him go may not be the best thing for him. On the other hand, I don't want to put him down before it is needed since that seems wrong to me somehow. ARGH! So I am a little tense.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 Thank you MissCandice! Do what you think is right for Tom, you live with him day in and day out. My kitty got very skinny too but it didn't affect her till the very end, if that's any help. Hang in there. :>
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter I really think you will know when it is time, Candice. You will be able to see a change in Tom if/when he becomes uncomfortable or unhappy.
