Vinny (née Coco) the poopy cat

Note: If you know of Coco, the new cat (as of June) in our household; I'm talking about the same cat. Coco was her shelter name. We just recently came up with the forever-name "Vinny". No, the cat isn't transgender; Vinny's pronouns are still she/her.

Ugh, I don't know what to do. This is so not clear-cut. She's so cute, she's part of the family. She is purring on my lap right now. But pouring money into putting this cat through medical ick, when we didn't go into this expecting very many years of cat life; crazy?

Vic is at a friend's house this weekend. Earlier we had started talking about end-of-life decisions about pets, but just in the abstract. Ugh, this discussion might get way too real way too fast. Or not, which is almost worse; she might be low-key suffering, but not complaining about it, for a long time, as we flail at trying different foods and laxatives and dither about what to do. Ugh.
