My Cat has been put to sleep

Its been finally called. My cat Watson had been sick for a couple of years. He got bad breath and was struggling to eat cat food recently, Watson also fell out of the couch and had trouble breathing. The final nail was when he almost reached the litter box but missed. Mum and Dad decided to finally take him to the vet and be put to sleep.

Watson was our last cat that moved with us when we moved home over 10 years ago. I was the one who fussed with him most and gave him most attention. Jokingly calling him a whiner and a fuss seeker because he lost a leg to a car several years ago (he got on by surprisingly well with only three legs).

I wondered if my family did the right thing. I decided to investigate what the Bible teaches about euthanasia of pets and 412teens.org has an article that goes into detail about it. There isn't a "Yes or No", but suggests that when all things are tried, Euthansia is considered to be merciful thing.
