Had two cats that lived to their 20th year - one died naturally in my arms during the final trip to the vet...the other we had put down after her arthritis became too much.
Having to put your cat put down when it's that old and in too much pain is tough, but it's the ultimate act of compassion to end its' suffering at the expense of your broken heart.
Know that the cat would thank you if it could.
