He became my step’cat when I met DP 10 years ago, but I feel really sad 
He was 18 and had a lovely life and was very loved so I must focus on that.
We kept putting off the inevitable but he was losing weight rapidly and had dementia, and we just knew it was time.
The vet was so lovely, kind and respectful, and we brought him home and DP buried him in the garden overlooking the fields.
I keep looking at the empty space where he used to lie and welling up.
We still have his brother and my cat but the house still feels empty without him
It's a real bereavement. Am so sorry. I know how it feels, have had to have 3 cats PTS over the years and it's heartrending every time. You did the right thing. Much sympathy.
My little 16 year old cat was PTS a month ago, she was very weak and had stopped eating. The vets were lovely and also posted a condolences card.
She is in a much better place now, but it's still sad without her.
Best wishes to you - it's so awful when they go

Sorry are still raw from losing your cat too.
grandetanteJE75 We chose a spot where the other two cats can join our old boy when their time comes. It’s so peaceful there.
I have the ashes of a cat I lost a few years ago in the soil of a potted lavender. I’m glad I did this as I moved last year so he could come with me 
We are both less tearful today knowing he’s free of his ailments and that we did the right thing by him. I hope he’s running free over the Rainbow Bridge with all of the lovely pets you have all lost too 🌈
