Hi Mary Evelyn, That is wonderfully heartwarming! We really love our pets because they always love us, no matter what! Unfortunately, they get older a lot faster than we do. My ex-mom-in-law & her boyfriend (sounds funny to call a man in his 70's a boyfriend!) had an ancient cat, they had several cats, one was so ancient and had arthritis and pain in moving, just like the boyfriend did, and that cat was on a big pillow all the time and they'd put it's food & water in front of it, and carry it to the litter box a few times per day... and so John asked his doctor if it would be okay to give the cat a tiny part of his cortizone pill, and the doctor said, that's part of YOUR pill and you'll have less for yourself and the cat is very small, but that's up to you. So John cut the pill into fourths and gave the cat one-fourth sometimes and had three-fourths for himself, and on those days, the cat felt better, tried to get up and walk around a little. The cat lived for about another year after that, and John also passed away a few years ago.
