To SNAFU people – my cat is very sick. We don’t know how much longer he has. He is now my top priority. I will be checking on him before I check my emails. It may get in the way of some SNAFU stuff but I will try to stay dedicated to the con at the same time. It is entirely likely that I may miss a meeting or something if he needs to be put down before that meeting. I may not. I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

He may have years, he may have days. I may need more help getting things done. I will do every reasonable thing I can to help my cat. The vet gives him very low chances so it’s a matter of what misery do we want to subject him to to “save” his life, or do we want to try easier methods which also may help, lower chances, but are also easier for him. Hospitalization is expensive and I think he would be miserable the whole time – 20% chance. Sub-Q fluids are less expensive, and give him less of a chance, but he can stay with us and keep living fairly normally until the end. He is still eating and not in any obvious pain. We have high hopes. As best we can tell, he is a fighter. Regardless of what we do, it’s terminal. It’s all just a matter of time and comfort.

Anyway. I will attempt not to let SNAFU Con slide and I will attempt to delegate more so that nothing is lost because of this. The cat will remain my first priority until he “recovers” or dies.
