askye, I'm so sorry! You did everything you could, it's not your fault.
ND, I can only sympathize and wish you and your family well. I've been there, trying to help an aging parent, it's so very hard.

Askye, I'm terribly sorry. Everyone is right - you did exactly what the vet said. Please don't feel guilty. I'm so glad you have Dean there to snuggle you.

Thanks everyone. It was just such a shock and I'm feeling less...shocky and I do realize I did everything I could.
I just remembered something I've been meaning to mention one of the exhibits next year at the Shelburne Museum is going to be "Time Machines: Robots, Rockets, and Steampunk".
The season doesn't start until May but I'm excited about the exhibit and if I can take pictures I will. Steampunk yay!
I am very sorry, askye.
I'm so sorry Askye. You are a great pet owner and advocate. I'm glad Will could be there and that you got to talk to your parents.
I guess the next step is trying to decide if I want to stay a 1 cat household or take on another cat. My neighbor is moving and is getting rid of one her kittens. But I know that someone may want it.
I think I'm going to watch Dean and see how he does. I'm concerned that without a playmate he'll get bored and be destructive. He already has a bad habit of knocking things off flat surfaces when he's bored. He's broken several glasses that way.
That is such a personal thing I don't think I can even give meta advice on the decision making process let alone say anything about the decision. I will say that I trust you to make the right decision, whatever it turns out to be.
"Command and control" is a standard term for regulation (and sometimes public investment) in economics. It is kind of a propaganda victory that it became a standard term, but whether I like or not it is a technical term, a term of art. Question: when an entire phrase is a technical term, does it belong in quotes, because the meaning lies in the entire phrase? And because it has a specific meaning in the context of economics. It occurs to me, for example, that "command and control" might mean something very different to a naval officer than it does to an economist.
