Caring for a CRF cat, and dealing with the uncertainties, and the knowledge that this is terminal, can give us a good lesson in how to live our own lives. 

Just having to learn to sit with the unknowns through a long night, deal with the what if's, should of's, must do or else, and all the anxiety... 
if it doesn't drive you crazy, maybe it can help you take a deep breath, 
slow down,
and accept what you can't change, 
change what you can, 
and enjoy yourself and your cat while you have time.......
