almost 15 years is long by cat standards, sounds like she had a long and full life. That's as close to making it as you get in cat terms.

yeah, and it was her time, but it's still incredibly fucked up how i get to decide when the vet kills my cat for me.... i dont think there's a better way (short of not having pets at all), but it's still super fucked up

like, my cat was super tired at the end and had aggressive cancer (1 month from normal to ... dying). still.

sorry i'm dumping this here, i guess it had to come out sometime....

It's fine, you had a companion for almost 15 years and no longer do, that is an enormous emotional toll. Especially given that you had to make the very hard choice to end their life. I do not blame you for being affected, and wanting to share is only natural.
