> In a dusty old book that most don’t read any more it says something like this; When the choice is between life and death, choose life.
Must be Aristotle because that isn’t in the Bible. Sometimes it is kinder to put an animal down than it is to make it go on living.
Cats rely on vision and hearing. This cat now has only 50% of these faculties. And it must live for the rest of its life without them. Might not see the dog or hear the car, next time.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
You are pessimistic.
Tom (dad named him... dad was not original, dogs were Spot, cats were Tom), 1968, stray cat gets ass kicked by squirrel, loses right eye and a fair chunk of skull.
Dad pays for vet, feeling brotherly, Dad being blind in right eye and all after a bad fight. Tom lived until .... 1979.
Tom would laugh. And avoid you.
