Please try not to blame yourselves. Cats are very good at hiding their illnesses. I actually have a cat now that has been diagnosed with cancer and for the most part he still acts like his normal self. If I hadn't noticed a lump on his lower jaw then I most likely still wouldn't know that he had cancer.

John and Deb- cats are so good in hiding what ails them. We lost our sweet sweet Tigris in September to cancer of the liver and the peritoneum and we didn't notice any change in our boy until two weeks before his death when what we thought was a rise in weight that could not be explained was more than a quart liquid in his belly.
We feel guilty because we had a biopsy made as the liquid made the diagnosis impossible otherwise. He was happy before the biopsy and passed away shortly after.
I think we shouldn't feel guilty- Lucky and Tigris were really really ill and we had no idea about that when we made the decisions. I am sorry for you that you didn't have the chance to say goodbye to Lucky- it is very sad and makes the passing even more difficult. But it is no reason for guilt.
May Tigris and Lucky now play at Rainbow Bridge.

The same thing sadly happened with Benjamin James aka BJ the Gray Meezer.
He was fine ,then one day he started to moan, and I put him on the bed when he circled, collapsed and passed away in seconds.
Our Vets sure that it was a heart attack.
Theres sadly nothing can be done about Our Cats who suddenly pass on.
But I know that Luckys in Paradise now, and hes smoothing the way for his family and Pet Friends so there will be a place for you all to reunite.
Maybe at BJS Barbecue Buffet.
One Fine Day.
