She continues to decline but she certainly is showing a lot of spunk. She slowly walks over to where either my husband and I are sitting, wanting affection. I'm certain she doesn't understand what is going on.
My husband talked to her veterinarian. She said Sasha's kidneys and liver have most likely shut down. As long as she is not in any pain, she also prefers a natural passing. Should she begin to show pain, we can bring her in on an emergency basis. I didn't talk to her but I'm sure she is surprised Sasha has lived two years longer than Storm.
It cost over $100 to put a cat down (it is law that they must give them a thorough checkup before they can administer the shot... even if it is obvious such as in this case) and we'd pay it, even though we have had hundreds of dollars of unexpected costs this month. We just prefer the natural way as long as she is not suffering.

Thank you for posting the update. I've been wondering. You mentioned when Sasha died. That was about the time I first started reading your blog. Didn't realize it had been that long.
Thanks for the update. Have you read the book "Cat Heaven"? (There is a "Dog Heaven", too.) One of our friends gave it to us when our darling Tanner passed over. So lovely. Have a lovely tea and rest.
Sasha, the little sweetie, is in our thoughts and prayers. Jody
Do you have a Human Society near you you could take Sasha too? I don't know if you have considered taking her to someone other than her regular vet. They would not charge as much I don't think. We know several people who have taken in their animals on a walk in basis at such times. They have been very kind and understanding. I guess it would help to call ahead and find out. I hate to even bring this up but maybe it would halp. Jody
Sorry...I forgot to add...I don't know if they let you take your animal home though from the Human Society if you have them put down there. Jody
Hi Brenda,
You and "your girl" are in my prayers.

I'm so sorry. It is awful to watch a pet or a loved one decline.
$100 ??? that is highway robbery.
I apologize. I meant Storm, not Sasha.
We have our son's beagle (Peter Parker) here at our home and I love him, but cats are very special to me, too. My favorite cat of all time was Whitey. I found him on the shoulder of a freeway in Houston. He was just a little deaf kitten, and I loved him for 12 years and miss him still. God bless you.
