[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is too much for you to deal with, put him to sleep. Keep in mind that it is one thing after the other for the cat too and he's never really comfortable. You need not feel.guilt.for providing a peaceful end.[/quote] This. A 15-year old pet with recurring health issues is a fine candidate for euthanasia, especially if the owner(s) can't afford the upkeep. It's lovely to say "you have to keep them until they die of natural causes" but that's not always what's kindest or best for the pet. Cats especially get stressed out by vet visits, and most pets are sensitive to the moods of their owners. If the cat is making you miserable and/or causing you stress, it knows and it's likely upset and stressed about it. There's nothing wrong with giving your pet a gentle, humane death. There's only so much we can reasonably do for our pets, and people need to stay reasonable about that. [/quote]
