(4,317 posts)One darling cat hated vets, so I tried to just keep her as comfortable as possible with vet-recommended home health care during her last days. She suffered so long that I hated myself. So when my darling last cat was suffering the same way, and the vet recommended that he be euthanized, after a few weeks, I took him in to the vet to be euthanized. The needle hurt him so bad that I hated myself. But here is the thing: I gave both cats as much love and care and comfort as I could and tried very hard to make the best decisions for them. So eventually I forgave myself. Your darling cat could tell that you loved him and were trying to help and comfort him. You obviously tried very hard to make the best decisions you could for him. Your love must surely have meant a lot to Riley, right up to his last moment.
