There are feelings, there are depths of love that I simply did not experience til a certain age. I was pretty frozen until my early 30s. When I did start opening up more, though, the door didn't wind up falling off its hinges, perhaps because (relative) maturity and perspective have had a way of softening the blows. Not to say all these feelings are not intense! Anyway, I can tell you love your cat, and being able to feel and give that love is a huge thing. Cats have small brains but she knows she is loved. A stray kitten came into my life last spring, and I love her more than I've ever loved any nonhuman being. KInda scary because yeah, they (or we) can get sick and die anytime. But as you say, the alternative to love is a life distant from others and alone. We've just gotta plunge in. Beautifully and courageously written.

You're doing the best you can, my friend--and it's not like you can afford the more expensive treatment for her. Just show her all the love you can. It's all any of us can really do, in the end.
