This is my cat, Stormy.

I adopted Stormy fourteen years and one week ago today.

As I type this, Stormy is at the vet. She hasn't been eating, and has been doing a lot of vomiting the last few days. She's 14 years old, but the vet says that her tummy feels normal (no lumps, bumps, etc.). Indeed, aside from shunning her food (she normally loves to eat as much as I do), she seems perfectly happy. We left her there for tests and observation.

If it's just her thyroid condition acting up and it can be treated readily, then that's what we'll do. If, however, it's something more serious (diabetes, kidney, cancer), I do not want to prolong the inevitable. I want her to go while she's still happy, before she experiences any more discomfort, before real misery.

Please keep us in your thoughts. I'll keep you posted.
