Zevo update

[adrienmundi]

It looks like it was shock that had his temperature so low. Whether it was from heart disease, kidney disease, or an infection from a weird bit of bone or claw growing out of the pad of one paw, we don't know. He's warming up, but old, weak and sick. The next 48 hours will be telling, according to super-vet. I think I'm meant to take away that it's possible he may pass away in that time, but that even if he doesn't, we're talking maybe days or weeks (on the question of what to do about overnight supervision while we're out of the country next week, super-vet said, "We might be getting ahead of ourselves").

I'm afraid of letting Zevo out of my sight. I keep touching him, but I'm not sure if I'm trying to reassure myself or him. Probably both. I've lost cats before, but now I know how it goes, and that seems to make it worse, not easier. Eighteen and a half years is a long time, more than enough to weave a presence deep into the fabric of my heart and head.
