If they seem happy to keep living, look like they are enjoying life, then let them be.
If they are in pain, or are visually suffering or have Arthritis, it is better to consider your options. Also, check to see how active or tired they seem, if their appetite is good and if they interact with you a lot.
You should not try to put your can down yourself. You need to take your cat in to a professional so they can safely do this for you and your pet.

Put the cat down humanely.
When its young, put it in the litterbox.
NO
Well in personal experience the best treatment is to put the cat down. It is the hardest option but if you love your pet, then put them out of pain.
In some places, a dog that kills a cat may be required to be put down, depending on local laws and circumstances.
I have no answer, but the exact thing has happened to my cat since I put my other Cat down a few weeks ago! I am wondering if it is a kind of cat depression?
No, No, No. Don't every give any drugs to a cat unless a Vet orders it. Some drugs that are ok for humans will kill a cat.
if in pain yes. if not in pain no
If your cat likes water, then you can put them in a tub of water with mild soap mixed in. if not, then take a wet washcloth and scrub them down. You should not have to clean a cat often because they are generally good at doing it themselves.
To put down a cat without feeling bad is hard, but think of it as putting the cat out of his misery. It also depends on how much you and the cat bonded. The closer you were the harder it is. In the end though, just try to remember that he/she is in a better place.
