When Skitty was diagnosed, I had to ask myself the same question.

My decision was that any major treatments were probably for me, not for her. But she was never a very happy kitty. She was an *okay* kitty, but never a really *happy* one.

The decision of when to end it was easy, for all that it was sad. When she tried to eat, but couldn't, I was able to say that it was time. I couldn't feed her and ease her hunger, so I had to end her suffering the only way I could. It sounds rational, but it was heartbreaking.

I did realize something then... I'd never know the *right* decision, because there wasn't one. No one can say what's right, or best; there are too many questions. You can only make a decision, and accept that you've done what you can.

Hugs and healing to you and your kitty; Please let me know if there's anything I can do.
