I came to a realization at one point that I would not be able to afford to take Lucy to the vet, so I took her to a shelter to get help for any underlying medical issues she could have. Also she is a VERY affectionate cat, and I work full-time hours thus leaving her alone for way too long, much longer than I wished to. And I wasn't always able to have her sleeping with me as she would constantly interrupt my deep sleeps (not the cute thing's fault of course), which is bad for my schizophrenia to not get proper sleep, and of course she would get sad for not being able to be near me since she had imprinted on me. So yeah, had to make the hard decision of putting her into a more suitable and healthier living situation.
