Nina, Spencer is a very precious soul and I am glad you have had this time together. I am very sorry that he did not rally back to health. You both are in my prayers.

Spencer continues to astound me, both with his athletic ability and the
way he expresses his love for me. He was restless all day yesterday and
last night around midnight, I gave him a quarter tablet of Valium in the
hope it would help him rest more easily. I'm not sure if it helped or
not. Sometime during the night I felt him stir and he actually jumped
through the window onto the top shelf,(we have an enclosed habitat
attached to that side of the house). I thought he just wanted to be in
the night air. No, he actually traversed the shelves down to the ground
and used the litter box! I couldn't see where he was, but decided to
leave him be for a while. I got up and worked on some accounting,
intending to retrieve him when I went back to bed. I entered my bedroom
and was floored to see he had made it back to bed all by himself! What a
cat!
This morning I woke up to find him nuzzled in next to me. I stroked and
cooed to him. He was so weak that he could no longer support his
weight. He drank from the bowl of water I put under his nose and
settled back into my body. All night he'd been crawling to my hand to
place his head in it. I feel so blessed in knowing him. Such a loving
soul. Finally he told me that he wanted to curl up on my messy closet
floor. I just checked on him and when he saw me he struggled to his
feet and crawled out of the nook he was in to greet me. He drank a
little more water before I left him to tend to the other animals. I
keep telling him, it's almost over. That I'm sure he'll be back when
he's ready, that I know we will always be together joined in the love we
share for each other. I'm going to miss what I still think of as his
perfect body though.
