Sorry to hear this, they are furry family and loving. Hope you are ok
I am sooo sorry you have to go through this.*HUGGS
I've had to make the same decisions with my cats in the past. Every situation is different, but my "rules of thumb" were if the cat was no longer behaving like a cat and doing strange behavior AND I suspected the cat might be in pain. That was enough for me. Even vets can't give you a straight answer on "when it is time."
For my last cat, Coco, the strange behavior was going from a voracious appetite to barely sniffing at food, and the possibility she was in pain indicator was her inability to stay laying down in a position for more than an hour before needing to change positions.
I'm sorry you are having to make an awful decision like this...![]()
Thank you. I really appreciate your kind messages.
