I don’t want to euthanize her just because she is no longer a charming little kitten or because she has health problems – she has definitely earned her retirement, but I also don’t want her to suffer through a terrible existence because we haven’t got the guts to make a decision. How do we know when it’s time? We keep taking her back to the vet every 3 months for an assessment to see if she’s in much pain and they ![]() ![]() Mealtimes get her excited but that’s it the rest of the time she spends asleep. Zoe’s quality of life seems to me to be poor – she will accept petting but is not the affectionate lapcat she used to be she has always lived in a multicat household but now HATES the other cats and she’s occasionally incontinent. We know she has some arthritis (she gets chondroitin) the vet thinks she may have a tumor of some sort, possibly even/as well as a brain tumor. Even when her diabetes is stabilized, she’s so skinny! She has gone from a big 12 pound Maine Coon to a weeny 5 pound Maine Coon.
