There are certain folks who tend to lurk in this NG who occasionally post
when a cat & slave are in a difficult situation.

My opinion of said folk is that they know alot about cats, but don't know a
heck of alot about human beings.

By all means read what they have to say - they do know about cats, but
don't feel guilty (and don't let them make you feel guilty) that the path
you choose for you & those in your care is different from theirs. They
aren't God and have no right to judge you & your life.

I have faith that everyone here will make decisions that they think are the
best path through complicated and conflicting priorities. I may not have
made the same decisions, but I can't imagine anyone here not taking 'the
best interests of the cat, given the circumstances' into account when they
make the hard decisions.
