I had to have one of my lovely cats PTS by the emergency vet tonight. He was diabetic and had a massive high blood sugar crisis and was really really sick. He was insured but it was more an issue of his suffering than any cost. Anyway, he was so sick that he couldn't even recognise my voice when I said goodbye but I wimped out of staying whilst they did the deed. I have read (on here I think) about how the kindest thing you can do for your pet during euthanasia is hold them so they know you are there and love them but I didn't. I let my own selfish feelings of not being able to handle it win over and now he's gone and I feel awful. I promised myself I would be strong and stay with any of our cats when the time came but I couldn't. I feel weak and guilty.
