DAY 51
R.I.P.
Koko passed away and became an angel today at age 50.
Yesterday, I left her alone for probably around 3 hours and her health dipped down to 91. The vintage instructions say if you keep the health above 95, they can live indefinitely. Although I did get her stats back up yesterday when I returned to her, I'm guessing it was those few hours of neglect and the health dip below 95 that led to her passing away during the night or upon waking up. I'd say she had a pretty full life, though.
It's interesting. I had left her alone for about that long a couple of times before when I went to movies at the theater, and she survived. A couple of her stats had dropped low, but her health stat had stayed fine. And I do believe she was over the age of 14 ("old age") then too. Perhaps as they continue to age, the stats drop a little more quickly.
