Maybe that’s part of the problem? I mean - my grandmother lived to be 96, was “healthy” nearly to the end, but realistically was ready to go a good decade before that.

With my cat (and this would likely be the case with any of my cats...) we took a reasoned look at the medical options and the quality of life choices. It wasn’t exactly cheap, but we basically bought him a year of life. If it had been a human family member, we would have gone through exactly the same decision, IE: do you want to keep fighting and do you want to go through this procedure or not?
