I cook for Jackson every day and chop his food as he has lost several teeth. My friend's old cat lived on mostly milk for the last year of her life but still enjoyed the yard and the humans. Each day he smiles at me with his blind eyes shining, is a good day. Take care, my friend.

Okay. I was thinking he couldn't go long with eating so little, but maybe he will. He's a joy!

whole milk or cream has lots of calories. Give it a try. Works for babies after all. Our old pets are a bit closer to God. Makes them our special angels on Earth.

Your words continue to help me cope with my grief. (I lost my sister last year) God is great -it is amazing that even in our losses (non victories) He still uses that to sooth another's grief. Thank you for continuing to write. Even though I have never met Mo, I feel as thou I did. Sending more love from NM.

You’ve been a big help and sounding board with all of this since the beginning, and I cannot thank you enough. It would have been much different and worse without you, and I thank God for your friendship even though we’ve never met. We must rectify that some day! Thanks for all of the advice for taking care of Milo. I follow every single thing. It will work for one meal, and then he goes back to being finicky, but yes, I shall try the cream now, too. I just want him to be happy and comfortable for as long as it takes. ❣💛💖

Thanks for letting me know, Debbie, and I hope it is all getting easier for you. The ONLY good part of grief is KNOWING more about God. I have mentioned "The Problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis. It is my 4th time listening to it now, but it is very clear to me why pain exists on Earth. It is free to listen to on YT with no interruptions. I like that you feel like you knew Mo through my posts and sending love right back to you! Have a wonderful day. 💜

and I just subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller. and 🥹😮 I thought I'd read a lot of deaths but barely touched it after seeing this. Surreal.

I keep hearing this news as it seems the entire medical world is in upheaval. It is setup in lies, power/profit. God has His mighty hand on it. I believe much will be unraveled. We just don’t know when. Sending you my love. ox

I love the plaque! So glad Milo continues to hang on comfortably. praise God

I agree with everything you said about the medical protocols. Seems like nowadays things are not tailored to individual needs. When the federal government started Medicare and they got involved in healthcare things really went downhill. Things should be handled on a state or local level. Or simply between the doctor and the patient without bureaucratic interference.
