Ribbie is hanging in there

. . . but just barely. She is eating a little bit several times every day and is still getting up every now and then to use the litter pan, but she sleeps most of the time now. She doesn't seem like she's in pain. I've been going down to sit next to her and read several times every day, and she still purrs nonstop while I'm petting her.

It's really hard to see such a great friend slip away. Ms. Congeniality. Good sport. So sweet.
