Charlie, you did what any responsible pet owner needed to do. I just put my lab down last month. It has been bothering me ever since. At 16 years of age she was not the same. My best friend was her vet and said she probably had tumors on the brain and showed signs of other health issues, such as dimentia. She was walking in circles and I couldn't get her in the house. She would stand outside in the pouring rain even in thunderstorms (that she feared). She would run from me and her hind legs were shot. I couldn't even pet her.
I miss Buca... but I know what I did was right for her, as what you needed to so for you beloved cat. I look at Buca's pics from pup to later years. She was not herself, she was sick and she was not happy, I would not have wanted to live any longer if it was me in her place.
