It is the best way, truly. You're doing the unselfish thing for Simon instead of keeping him around for your sake. I just had to do this w/one of my cats, Pidgie, last week so I know the pain you're experiencing. We all do here on PT. I'm sorry for you and for sweet Simon but you're doing the last act of kindness for him. He'll love you even more for it. (((HUGS)))
