You and Jimi Too Cool are in my prayers. He must really want to be outside
right now, since he has a choice and has access to the inside. I imagine you
have left out food and water for him. I don't know what else you can do.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi everyone,
My Jimi Too Cool, 10 year old black domestic shorthair with feline
leukemia, is in his last stage of life, I am sure. He has been slowly going
downhill. He is just bones with fur and won't eat. His pain is controlled
with depo-medrol and tramadol and he is not in distress, pain is under control,
but he mostly just sleeps a lot. Well, tonight he made a break for it and went
outside and won't come in and it is at freezing temp now. 32 degrees, I
believe. No wind, though. I have cat-fence-in so he is not straying but I
can't reach him. Every time I go out to try and bring him in, he runs for
cover under the deck.
Have any of you run into this problem? I have heard that cats and dogs
like to go outside to die. Could that be it, I wonder? I am so worried about
him as he is so skinny and he is not used to this cold weather. He can come
in, though, if he would like, as I put the cat door back into the window, just
for him, although I had it stowed for the cold weather until spring. I am
trying to relax because I know he could come in if he wanted to so he must not
mind it outside. Sigh....
Thanks, everyone.
