If your cat went blind, would you have him put to sleep?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

It would take a lot for me to have a pet put to sleep, but if I thought his quality of life was not good, I would have to think about it. My cat, Toonces, has had one eye removed because he had a virus and an infection. Now, his other eye is looking like the other one did in it's beginning stages. So, I'm wondering what I would do if he went blind in that eye too. I have antibiotic drops to put in his eye so he may be ok. But what would you do? Just imagine what it would be like for him. He loves the outdoors but would never be able to go out. Yes, he could hear me speaking to him and he could feel me petting him but is that enough and is it my place to make that decision even if a good veterinarian said he would be better off if he were put to sleep?
