My elderly relative is already growing frustrated with her. He suggested putting her outside again.

    Your elderly relative is a piece of shit. Put him outside.

    Edit: Also, take the cat to a vet and start thinking about end of life care for this sweet kitty and whether you want to lift a finger for your relative once he’s in a similar position.

      and whether you want to lift a finger for your relative once he’s in a similar position.

      Seconded on all counts, especially this one

        Hoo boy. The number of cat people here chanting HARM THE RELATIVE is … worrisome. Starting to think cat people aren’t the best people.

            Ehh. Granted, your response wasn’t “Put him outside instead” , which was the response of others

            But refusal to help when they’re in a similar situation - that’s easily neglect. So please don’t think you came off better than others

      There is value to having the conversation about “holding on for too long”. But…

      But, “euthanasia vs palliative care” is a conversation that must be between you (the owner) and your vet

      It’s possible that there are other, addressable reasons for being unable to make it to the litter box, and a vet visit is necessary to identify and address these issues

      As well, it’s possible that it is indeed “time”. A conversation with the vet is best
