Experience description:

The cat was sick and my husband believed she should be euthanized because she was in pain from arthritis and was suffering from kidney failure. We were giving her water injections under the skin and giving her pills to help her kidneys function but she was failing. The day of the appointment with the vet she got up and walked around and I had doubts that it was the right time for her to go. My husband believed it was time. I agreed and after felt I should have waited until I was sure. It was very traumatic during the procedure and felt as though I had done the wrong thing. I worried over this for about a month when falling asleep on the sofa I "dreamed" that the cat was walking towards me through a dark void. She was like a cat shaped translucent form. She walked towards me and put her nose on my cheek. I immediately woke up and could still feel the touch for several seconds after. I felt then that she forgave me.
