I'm really sorry you're going through this. As others said, you'll know- one day it will become evident. We lost our 14 year old cat last year. To be honest "that day" never came. He had lost weight and was coughing some, but our vet had told us as long as we still felt he had quality of life there was no reason not to give him some more time. The day before he was acting completely normal (well, his new normal since getting sick). He walked around, played with us, ate fine the next morning, gave kisses before I left for work. I came home that afternoon and found that he had passed on laying on my desk holding my Mickey Mouse doll (he loved stuffed toys). I truly think he wanted to pass away at home and didn't want us to witness it, since he must have been working so hard to seem normal in the days before. I'm glad he was able to get his wish, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
