And that is at home, where she is comfortable. A week or more in a strange place with strange people after having a procedure that at the very least would make her feel wierd? She wouldn't survive. I sure as heck isn't the money. If it tapped me completely, I would do everything for her. Unless I thought it was causing her pain.

I see what you mean. I didn't know they had to do all of that because of the radioactivity, then again, radioactive cats have 18 "half-lives." B-D I know, it is an oldie. B-) Seriously, I wonder if Pansy could take it but she is a fighter. a few weeks ago, she had fluid on the lungs and they had to drain it using needles in the sides. The vet said that a few cats give up then and there but she took it quite well although towards the end, she was tired of sitting there while the procedure was done. We've adjusted the dosage and she it almost back to herself although we might have to fine tune things a little, she still is a little aloof. Still though, she eats quite well, seems to be putting on a little more weight and bugging me for food, water and when I shave in the morning. Pixie, my other black cat, chased Pansy around and Pansy then chased her. Also, I have a 17 year old, grey and white, named Corky, Pansy like tho wash her when Corky was a kitten in 1989 and she still does to this day.

Musica and Neysa were a matched set. Had Musica passed first, Neysa would have died of a broken heart (Musica was always the more independent).

They washed each other. When Neysa passed, Musica used to plunk down on the last spot in the bedroom where Musica sat. That lasted a few months.

Sounds like Pansy is pretty tough, too.

Eating is, of course, super important. When they have their appetite, and DEMAND food, that is a great sign :)
