My elderly relative is already growing frustrated with her. He suggested putting her outside again.

I don't like your relative. Providing comfortable care of elderly and end of life pets is to be expected when you adopt an animal, even if it is difficult.

The relative is being callous, AND they clearly need some help managing a cat at this point, AND the relative is probably worried about themselves becoming like their poor cat who they probably also love.

What’s so hard about extending your empathy to the person as well as the cat?
