It's extremely hard when the animal is mentally alert and still seemed spry for her age, save for having the tumor on her paw. The vet said that if the tumor was elsewhere, she'd recommend waiting until the cancer took more of a toll on her health, but given that it was on the bottom of her foot, it was torture to keep going.... malignant tumors don't heal.

Such a beautiful cat. You did the right the right thing for her. Sorry for your loss.
