Human medicine isn't the same as vet medicine. We can give animals the gift of ending their pain and misery.

It's not that easy with a person. But not every human with no arms or legs would want to live.

Here is the concerning part. Imagine no hands or feet. Constant help would be given to a person in this state. But nobody is going to carry around a cat 24/7, nor should they. That's extremely unhealthy. So what is it supposed to do? Walk on the ends of its legs? Try to pull itself across the floor (with almost no arms left)? It may work for a few, but generally the whole thing would be extremely unhealthy for an animal.

It has nothing to do with the responsibility of owning a special needs cat. I have a special needs dog, but the difference is, her quality of life is excellent most of the time.
