I'm in acute distress. I had my 14 year old cat put down tonight. Last time I had a cat put down, I wailed loudly as soon as it happened. That was 6 years ago. This time, I was very quiet for the whole ordeal, but I'm totally distressed. I have to tell myself she's at peace now.
Thanks for your replies. I was worried on Tuesday night by the levels of my distress. but it's now Friday, and I'm doing a lot better. I realise it was MIssy's time to go, there was no mistake. We all die, unfortunately. I'm very very glad I was at home when she took a turn for the worse, and I'm glad I was able to stay with her to the end.
Hugs,Koyu
