Our cat is rather elderly and has recently been looking like she might be on her last legs. She is barely eating anything, will accept a little bit of ham or a few licks of cream, but nothing else and has got very skinny. She is just lying on a cushion, breathing seems quite rapid but she doesn't seem to be distressed or in pain. We are thinking we need to take her to the vet but worried it's probably a one way trip. If she is fading, is it kinder to let her fade quietly at home in comfort, as there is no visible distress, or to stress her out with a car trip and then euthanise her. I'm a bit torn as if she is on her way I want her last days to be as happy and comfortable as possible. Any thoughts?

Be kind to yourself OP. Take comfort in the fact that she was loved so much.

Only just seen this OP. I'm so sorry. But you were with her and she was loved until the end.
