chosen.content: It is understandable to want to alleviate the expense and emotional burden of caring for an ill pet, however, the decision to euthanize is highly dependent on the cat's individual quality of life. Consider talking to a veterinarian about options to make the cat as comfortable as possible and assess any medical or practical constraints related to the cat's health. Ultimately, the decision should be made based on the overall well-being of the pet, not the expense.
