What’s the point in keeping him alive if his quality of life is poor? My cat, Wayne, was propping himself up against the wall, just to keep upright. I felt absolutely guilty when I saw him do that one day. It was not fair to him. I had him laid to rest, in a humane way; he was so ready to go. We have to think about the pet, not about ourselves. Anyone who insist on drawing blood on a 17 year old cat is doing it just for money. Keep in mind, that a 17 year old cat is not the same as a 17-year-old person. You have to times the 17 x 5 or seven, (I forget which one) Let’s think about the cat, first and foremost. It is a tough decision to make, but you’re doing it for him.
