I know how hard this is for you. My 17 year old cat died a year ago. .I did not put him to sleep because the vet didn't seem to think he was in much pain - and he didn't act like he was in pain. . he kept right on purring every time I held hime - which was a lot. . I still wonder if I did the right thing by not putting him to sleep. . I think each person kind of knows the right decision for them/their pet. . Hugs to you. .

Thanks for your thoughts. I guess may be by her purring
she is trying to tell me she is okay and for us not to be so sad. I do not think she is in any pain, but I do not want her to get to that point either. The tumor she has is huge, so eventually it will cause her some pain. The sun is shining today so she can enjoy the rest of her day laying in the sun, which is what she loves to do. I would always call her to tell her the sunshine was out and she would come running into our den. That is where she is now with her toys and blanket I will be wrapping her up in later today. Gotta go now. The tears are a flowing now.
