I’ve seen it both ways: sound body but feeble mind and sharp mind but sickly body. Both are sad to witness. I’m not sure if it’s harder to watch a beloved aunt not recognize any of her loved ones or listening to vitriolic verbal attacks on caregivers by a once loving parent. As they say in the song, only the good die young.
Your cat, plants or a person? All terrible.
