pegasus, I wish you love and peace during this time. Like AuntieMel, I've been through it a couple of times and I so, so know what you are going through. Yes, your 19-year-old precious cat is here because of the love you have given.
I just lost my dear, dear kitty on Sunday, after having been with us for 14 years. My emotions are still all over the place, so I hope I make a little sense here. After a few months of difficulties -- low appetite, anemia, pancreatitis, a vague kidney problem -- I was encouraged over the last month because she was back to her sweet, wonderful self, running around. She was fine on Saturday and then just crashed, probably because of her heart. It was definitely her time...and yes, you will know in your heart when enough is enough.
Both my T. and my pdoc have been wonderful. Ironically, I am going through a lot in therapy right now but I haven't shed a tear in sessions. But with my kitty, I have been sobbing. Funny how that is.
Again, love to you.
