Officially, I am on leave this week. Unofficially I am working to catch up on 1001 projects that need completing.

But today I was distracted by Aged Ken, our decrepit cat of indeterminate years. His health has been failing for a month or more. Jackie and I had hoped we could let nature take its course, but none of Ken’s various ailments seem sufficient to give him final rest. I suspect Ken is clinging onto his life because he thinks we still need him to watch over us. It is very difficult to judge whether or not a cat is suffering, but the signs are there. Jackie and I agree that if Ken does not rally or die overnight, we will need to take him to the vet tomorrow.
