10. I'm so sorry.
I know exactly how you feel. :-(
I had to do this with one of my cats a few years ago. Totally arthritic back legs, completely deaf and refused to become an indoor cat. (She had always been an outdoor cat since she adopted me.)
I helplessly watched her pain for one winter but I couldn't let her suffer for another. The vet was very kind. I fed her a can of tuna (her favorite) and took her in. She just went to sleep. I was very sad and I still miss her. But it would have been so selfish of me to keep her around when she was in such obvious pain and so frightened by her deafness. But she had been a well loved, fed, groomed and absolutely adored kitty. In the long run she had a good life and it was the best thing for her.
Good luck....I know how hard a decision it is.
