We had to do the same thing with our cat, too. She was very old, and though she was a good friend to us, we just... couldn't prolong the inevitable. I'm sorry your kitty had to pass on, but at the same time, it's better that he didn't have to be sick anymore.
Yeah, it's just rough because a few weeks ago he was in perfect health, then we took him in to get his teeth cleaned and he was still in great health, had to take him back because he started being mopey and pulling his hair out (because they cleaned his ears too and he was apparently sensitive to the cleaner...?), and then it all just snowballed and turned into this. I don't even know. It's hard, but I'm mostly worried about my parents, especially mom because I think she's going to blame herself for taking him in the first place. Sigh.
But yes, you love them and wish they could get better, but when they can't you hate to see them all miserable like that.
In the end, it was probably the best thing you could have done for him, but it still doesn't make it easier. I have a 7 1/2 year old cat myself and I don't know if I could ever find the courage to do that if the time ever came. But I'm sure your cat is watching over you now and thanking you for all the love and care you gave him when he was alive.

Lots of love to you! I'll pray for him and you.
