If it s not a difficult decision to make, then maybe it s not the right thing to do. Some people who shouldn t be pet owners simply take any illness in their pet as an opportunity to get rid of it. If you ve got this attitude, perhaps you should simply take your pet to the vet, have the problem resolved, then work to find a more suitable owner for your pet. But if you are a loving pet owner and find yourself asking whether you should put your cat to sleep, you should take your time in making this decision and think it through thoroughly. All too often pet owners make the decision to put their pets to sleep before they fully consider all their options.
Pets are resilient.
A cat that is missing a leg can still enjoy life and the company of its family. A cat that can t hear or see can still love and be loved and learn to function otherwise. Yes, they are disabled. But all too often, pet owners see these disabilities as situations in which their pets can t even live happily anymore. And this is certainly not true.
