    No matter how hard the decision, I always think, at this stage of their illness would they survive in the wild. If the answer is no then your mind is made up for you, no one wants to see an animal suffer. You did the responsible thing. So why do we all feel so guilty afterwards.? Because after 14 years they are part of the family.

    Sorry to hear about your poor Kenneth, Matt, I know what you are going through and how you are feeling.. We had to do the same just 11 months ago with our darling Gato and for the same reason. I still have a cry now and then, did so earlier on today in fact, but it was the best, at least for him. You saved Kenneth a slow and painful death, you did the right thing. x

    I am so sorry. I lost my old cat for the same thing, she was 17. It is such a heartbreaking thing. You are in my thoughts. :(

    So sorry to hear you sad news.
    I know how you are feeling. I used to have cats and after 9+ years of not having cats, I still miss my Rebel and Simba and Mtoto.
