I am so sorry. I know exactly how you feel. I don't have any children, just cats, 2 of them. They are both 14 also. The female has diabetes too. I don't even want to THINK about that happening to her, but I know that one day, UNFORTUNATELY, it will. Hopefully in at least another 10 years. My last 2 cats, I adopted from the SPCA, were 26 yrs. old & 28 yrs. old when they passed. They were just domestic long haired cats. Now, my mother's cat is 25. He isn't doing well at all. But he isn't suffering. Try to do things to keep your mind off of the cat. I KNOW, it's gonna be hard, really, really hard. You did the best thing for the cat if it was suffering. And "yes he did", know that you were there. They can sense it. He knows that you put him in a better place. I cried for 4 1/2 years after my cat died, the one that was 28. I adopted him when he was 9 yrs. old, from the SPCA. They were gonna put him to sleep, because, of course everyone wants kittens. Some people say "that's just crazy", to be that upset over "an animal". But it's not just "an animal" to people like us. They are a miniature family member who just cant ever go out to eat with us, LOL. BUT, they can go to Petco shopping with us. You will feel better in time, don't rush out and buy another cat though, I think it's a BIG mistake. Wait a while. Take care. Again, sooooo sorry for your loss
