My lovely old rescue cat is 20 years old this week (not sure exactly as she was a cat not a kitten when I got her 20 years ago).
She has a hazy patch in the centre of her eye, it's been there 18 months, I've taken her to the vets many times and tried many things, but the vet has said basically there's nothing to be fine but remove the eye when it needs it - which would be under ga which would not be advised at her age.
She has also been on meta cam for years and years and years, and as a result hasn't got great kidney function. She will not eat renal food, so she's on senior wet food and cat soup as a treat.
All these things seem manageable, she has changed so much since I had her as a young cat, she's not the same cat, but still seems to have some life, and doesn't seem in pain.
The problem is she has started bumping into things, I'm not sure how good her eye sight is in the other eye. I've pretty much decided not to take her to the vets for annual injections etc as she hates it too much, she is so stressed I think she might have a heart attack, vomit/shit/wee in her basket and the vets is only 1.5 miles away. So I don't want to take her to the vets (she will be pts at home when the time comes) but I feel so guilty there's nothing I can do.
Now I've written this post, I don't know why. None of my friends/family - literally none - have cats so I don't have anyone to talk it through with.
