I'm overwhelmed with guilt over the passing of my beloved cat.
I just lost my Petey (my cat) on the 10th. He hadn't been feeling well but still had his appetite and I thought it was just his teeth bothering him. His dentist appointment was supposed to be the 28th.
Took him to the vet as his appetite lessened to an alarming amount. They did bloodwork and alarm bells were ringing. The word, "Cancer" was whispered. He was fine in October. Blood levels good. Suddenly he's anemic to the point of needing a blood transfusion and has turned yellow (jaundice).
I had him for 15 years and I feel like I failed him. I should have brought him to the vet the moment he started showing signs of not feeling well. He's had IBS and been on a special diet for years so I guess because he was using the litter box, eating soft food, and drinking water I told myself he was fine.
I miss him so much. He was my responsibility and I failed him.
The vet told me all the things I wanted to hear. "Cats are notorious for hiding how they're feeling" and "You're making the right decision". But I can't help but feel like I'm the reason he isn't here anymore. Well, I am...because I'm the one who decided it was his time to go. To end the suffering I put him through because I chose

the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That’s the key detail here.
Stepping back, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.
Not gonna lie, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place This could age very differently in a week.
Looking at this, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. Time will tell. At least from my perspective.
the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here. We’ll see how people react over time.
Without overthinking it, this feels like a half-step, not a full move Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

From the outside, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why the comments look the way they do Others will probably see it differently.
To be fair, the timing matters more than people admit which is why the comments look the way they do That’s the key detail here.
At first glance, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which explains why reactions are split Let’s see what happens next.
this solves one problem while creating another which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
the follow-through is what will decide this so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.
If we’re being honest, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s what people are responding to Curious how this plays out.

Bluntly speaking, this feels more about execution than intent which is why this is getting picked apart Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.

Honestly, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That part stands out. At least from my perspective.
