Wow, triple fun good news from Hec! I like it.
Any advice or sage words? I am going to call our vet tomorrow morning and see what they say, but I thought I'd check the hivemind.
In my limited experience with elderly cats my concern would be the disorienting effect with moving to a new environment. We had an elderly cat that was blind and fortunately when we moved the new owner of the house agreed to let him stay there where he knew his yard and surroundings. Any move for a cat seems to involve a much more dramatic adjustment than with dogs. Certainly the vet will have better advice, but just tossing that out there.
Autopay is a beautiful thing. Yes, from time to time I screw up and get an overdraft fee, but it is more than made up with not getting late fees because I have spaced out and not paid something. Actually, my sister pays my bills for me because of said flakiness, but I still set up everything in autopay where possible and she just has to make sure they get covered and recorded.
I definitely can't be trusted to pay a bill on my own.
1. Is Smeagol really the right name for this kitty? and
2. an updated story on the "Houdini" horse.

Yes, definitely a concern. I just need to weigh if that will impact his quality of life more negatively than being euthanized. (if that makes sense)
And here is a cool dog story that I found via Free kibble.
Nora, does Beeblebrox remember you? Will he find your scent comforting?
Because that could be part of the landscape for him.
Yes, he remembers me, for sure. He follows me around and sleeps with me when I'm visiting my parents.
I don't envy you that decision, Nora. I hope your vet has some good insight.
