[quote=Anonymous]The cat does not want to be a stressor in your life.  The cat does not want to be a burden to you or your family.  The cat does not want to be vomiting and defacating all over the house.  The cat does not want to be losing weight.  The cat does not want shots or any more trips to the vet.  The cat just wants to be pain-free.

We may struggle with euthanizing ourselves when we get to this stage in life, but it is allowed for animals, even pets who have been loyal and loving members of the family.

But, you have other members of the family too OP.  if the cat is interfering with your ability to parent your children, it is time.  And really, you are giving the cat a chance to go freely, pain-free, as professionally and dignified as it can be done.  A random death at home may be accompanied by a horrible trauma, a lot of pain, a lot of fear and upset - it may not simply be that the cat goes to sleep one night and doesn't wake up.  Give the cat the chance to have that [/quote]
