GLOW to you and Jimi. I think what others have said about seeking solitude and
cool is pertinent. My Ninja chose several "sick" places where she didn't stay
when feeling well, they were dark places I couldn't get to. She sought them
out while we were waiting for the time the vet could come over to help her to
the Bridge.

Subject: Jimi Too Cool problem
Hi everyone,
My Jimi Too Cool, 10
year old black domestic shorthair with feline leukemia, is in his last stage of
life, I am sure. He has been slowly going downhill. He is just bones
with fur and won't eat. His pain is controlled with depo-medrol and
tramadol and he is not in distress, pain is under control, but he mostly just
sleeps a lot. Well, tonight he made a break for it and went outside and
won't come in and it is at freezing temp now. 32 degrees, I believe.
No wind, though. I have cat-fence-in so he is not straying but I can't
reach him. Every time I go out to try and bring him in, he runs for cover
under the deck.
Have any of you run into
this problem? I have heard that cats and dogs like to go outside to
die. Could that be it, I wonder? I am so worried about him as he is
so skinny and he is not used to this cold weather. He can come in, though,
if he would like, as I put the cat door back into the window, just for him,
although I had it stowed for the cold weather until spring. I am trying to
relax because I know he could come in if he wanted to so he must not mind it
outside. Sigh....
Thanks,
everyone.
