[quote=Anonymous]Probably not. Most of us grew up with cats as kids when cats went outside from time to time. I always thought that cats lived for about 10 years. I was shocked when my indoor cat lived until 19. In hindsight, I should have put my cat down when she was 17 but vets are very aggressive in their treatment of diseases now. In the past, a vet would just recommend euthanizing an animal with a chronic illness that impacted its quality of life but now they push to keep them alive as long as possible. You don't want to argue with someone to kill the pet that you love but again in hindsight it is more cruel IMO to keep them around with lots of interventions, surgeries and medications when they are declining.
