I agree with whats been said, it's so much harder when it's one of your own.

Its always hard when its your own animal, (I know that in any situation with my animals I just cant think straight) I agree with everyone saying to go with your gut instinct.

i agree, go with your gut instinct, it's always the right way to go.

(On a complete side re the buster collar thing.....one of my cats has worn a buster collar for the past 4 years as no meds work to treat her itchy head,)

It must be a really hard decision for you when she still so bright and generally happy, i feel for you. But think of it this way...it's nicer to remember her still happy than when she gradually gets poorly. Easier said than done i know xxx

Thanks for your response, the reason i posted was to see what people thought becasue in my heart i know wht the rght decision is but when you look at her and she is purring away it completely tears me to pieces. My other half is completely not worth speaking to as he wont even discuss the matter :( i know that its the right thing to do...its just bringing myself to do it.

Really sorry to hear about your kitty I'll give you my honest opinion of what i'd do if she were mine. I'd let her go while before she suffers. Her ear must be really bothering her if she has to have the buster collar on all of the time. You've given her a loving home for 3 months and she will love you for that. Really sorry if my opinion upsets you...just what i'd do, as hard a decision as it is. x
