I had to wait a holiday when my cat went,I knew he was suffering and the only other place to take him was the emergency room,but I was afraid if I took him there he would just be put down... I went the first thing to the vet the following day and it was kidney failure... He had to be put down anyway,so I felt guilty as shit... BTW I had that cat for nine years...

What it all boils down to is you made it's life a good one and death is as natural as life itself...
