Moral Dilemma

[mrsmagoo]

I'm having a real dilemma.

Very dear friends of ours, who have a great deal on their plate (3 kids under 9, 3 kitties, 25 chicks (as in egg producing), a bee hive, an organic garden for their catering business...) have an older kitty who we'll call Puss. He is 19 years old, showing some signs of age, but nothing serious. They want to put him down because there seem to be behavior problems in the younger kitties. Am I wrong in thinking this is cruel?

maybe puss should of been thought of first before getting any more , i have a 14 yr old cat id love a kitten but i wont get one not yet ,yes i think this is cruel and id be shocked if the vet allows this to happen poor cat
my cat is old and needs to go to the toilet quickly we have a litter tray now problem solved and hes happier about it as well he doesnt have to race outside anymore
