We are not in any position to decide whether palliative treatment or
euthanasia is the most humane course of action here.

That's exactly right and it was exceedingly insensitive of this "Bud" (an
interloper, btw) to say that to the OP. Those of us who love cats know that
the time to decide euthanasia is always difficult/painful to determine and we
can never know for sure if we are timing it right. I'm sure the OP is going
through enough torment trying to decide what is right for her cat without some
lout making crude judgements.
