H and I have been taking turns holding the elderly cat every minute of the day, yesterday and today. She has been sleeping on my chest or side at night. I am tired but also restless and my whole body aches, but she is worth the discomfort. She continues to weaken but seems happy and not in any discomfort.

H has been especially amazing lately. Sharing more of his feelings -- telling me when he feels insecure, and therefore might get defensive.
