Chilly appears to be getting closer to rainbow bridge.

Over the past several hours, Chilly has appeared to crash. He's alive, but just barely. He got himself into his box, then back out into the hallway and then back in his box and then back out again. Now, he's on the floor in front of the couch where he can see both of us. It's not ideal, but I can't put him on the couch and still do George's tube feeds. When it gets dark, I'll find another place. But for now this is where he'll stay. We've elected not to take him to the vet. He doesn't appear to be in any pain. And, I know, that putting him through a vet visit might've bought us a few more days, if that. I expect he'll pass within the next twenty-four to fourty-eight hours.

He's on the foot of George's couch. He seems to be happy there.

I’m so sorry. Freckles and Goldie will give him a warm welcome. The worst part of being owned by a pet.

He'll see his best friend, Precious, again too. As well as all the other furr babies that crossed before him. However, he seems to want to cling to life, so we'll love him for as long as he decides to.

It must be a relief to see him without pain, and rather peaceful. He can sense your love for him, that should make it easier.

Yes, he looks very comfortable. He can see George, because he's looking at him.

Yeah. He found some energy to get himself on the couch with George.

I hate it when pets go through their last days on earth It just breaks my heart to see them in such misery it's heart breaking.

Hey, take comfort in how I look at things, It is inevitable that Chilly will go to another life, He will always be with you in spirit and imagine him chasing butterflies in the meadows up above,

He was more of a lap cat and a cuddler.

Why are you not taking him to the vet to be peacefully euthanized? I wouldn't want him to suffer.
