They say that hindsight is a perfect science, and I am sure that all of us have things that, given an opportunty, we would do differently. However is DOES sound like Pouncer had a pretty serious illness, so I do question how much you could have done......

I honestly think that it is enough that you gave Pouncer a great 9 years (lots of cats have unhappy lives, and die much younger than that).

Pouncer obviously had a place to fill as a little kitten angel - she will be playing with the other kitties, and never feeling any pain, ever again.

Hugs from me and Ally cat.
