I'm pretty sure Mike is dying. He's eating and drinking, but he's acting very strange. He doesn't want to be on my lap or on my bed. He's just been lying on the air vent in the hallway nearly all day. That is a place where he has never hung out before. If we put him on the bed, he jumps down and goes back to that air vent. In the past when he hasn't felt well, he hangs out on the bed. That's why I think he's dying. Plus he's got a lump that suddenly appeared, and I had that dream last night. Weird. When I scratch him under his chin, he doesn't purr. He's been with me for 16 years. I'm very sad. -Shannon
