My kitty is about 20 yrs old, been a great family pet but is now arthritic, diabetic, etc. I can see she is slowly getting worse but is still going and does not appear to be in obvious pain. Problem is, I have a major cross Canada relocation and I'm afraid the stress will finish her off. She freaks on a 10 minute drive to see the vet, major shedding and diarrhea.
I've considered putting her down prior to this move but some think it's cruel. I think the stress of a 4 day drive may be worse. Having family or a friend look after her isn't really fair as she is slowly fading and it would feel like I'm dumping her on someone else.
Thoughts?
