As I mentioned on a different thread my cat likely has cancer in his nose/sinuses and is not likely to live for too much longer. He's an old guy, 15 1/2 years old, so he's had a good life. He seems to be holding steady for now. Sneezes a lot. Doesn't do much other than sleep and get up to eat/drink water/use the litter box. Still loves to be held, purrs relentlessly when I pick him up and hold him. And even lets me use a wet towel to bathe him since he gets covered in snot on a daily basis.
But at what point do I say "enough is enough" and make the appointment to go Dr. Kevorkian on him? I don't want to rush things, but I don't want to force him to be miserable just because I don't want to let him go. He doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain, but he is also not going to get better.
It was so much easier with my last cat. He hid his illness well and then went downhill quickly. No decision had to be made. With this guy it's different. If I let him he may well drag this out for a long time.
