Advice please?
Sorry to cross post but I have a bit of a dilema.
My cat is now 15 and a half, and although she still eats, drinks, toilets, and sleeps, she does little else. I know she has some discomfort from her lower back, and probably kidney problems. Other than that and her increased laziness she seems quite happy, purrs when I go to see her, still comes down stairs when she wants more food (I have 3 cats, and they decided they wanted to divide themselves so Katie got the upstairs, and Gizmo and betsy the downstairs), she doesn't come and see me in bed any more and has no desire to go outside (even though she used to go out days at a time). I realise this is just old age and everyone slows down, but I'm wondering whether I should consider taking her to be put down in a month or so rather than forcing her to go on living when basically she doesn't live the most active of lives, and its not that full of interest. I try and spend time with her, but I just wonder if forcing her to live on to the bitter end is the kindest thing to do. Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved. |
