I've never dealt with death of any sort. My cat had been sick lately, ever since something happened to his leg that caused him not to use it anymore. We took him to the vet; it didn't help much. He said it would probably go away on it's own. After that, my cat, Smokey, went downhill. He stopped cleaning himself and he lost a lot of weight. I tried buying canned cat-food instead of dry food. He ate much more of the canned food, and would actually get up and run over to it to eat it. I figured he might get better with this new food.
At about 1AM today, I went downstairs to get a drink, and heard him moaning. I went over to him and he was, I think, struggling to breathe. I didn't know what to do so I just sat there with him in disbelief petting him and talking to him. He died a few minutes later. And now, hours later, I wonder if I could have done more to maybe save him. It all happened so fast and now I feel responsible for his death. I'm heartbroken.
What do you guys think?
