How do you know when it's time? I have a 16 year old cat with arthritis. She gets pain medication daily since otherwise she yells a lot and limps. As long as she has that, she seems pretty happy? She still likes to lounge around in the sun, get cuddles, can climb up the scratching post for her treats and take lots of naps. I just worry that I'm going to be blind to the day when it turns from her being mostly happy to mostly unhappy and cling on because I love her so much, when I should be letting her go.

Slugworth posted:I've posted this before, and I still believe it. Having seen hundreds of euthanasias, people who really love their pet tend to get the timing right. You have edge cases where there are some mental health issues that make them cling on too long, but generally, people just know when it's time. You aren't gonna do it too soon, because you love them and want to keep them for as long as you can. And you aren't gonna let it go too long because you love them, and seeing them genuinely suffer hurts you. That actually helps a lot, thanks. I just worry about her and making sure she has the best life especially as the athritis is becoming very noticeable.  Here is the lady in question, having a nap.
