Inky was 17 when he was put to sleep. Shadow 16 and Cleo was 6 yrs.

Cleo was the only one I could not get over. I decided it was because I was in the room with Inky and Shadow when the vet gave the shot. In Cleo's case, I didn't even know that he had been pts.

For me, it is important to be with the cat when he dies (important for me, I don't think the cat cares).
