The decision to euthanize is a painful one, and also very personal. Most people generally use a quality of life guideline. If the cat is content and doesn't seem to be in any pain or suffering, then they feel that euthanisia is not needed yet.
What is your vet's opinion about holding back treatment? My parents had a cat with diabetes and for some reason decided not to treat him. I wasn't living at home so I didn't see the effects of not treating the cat were like, but from what I understand he did pretty well until the end.
