I was thinking about posting but after reviewing the thread to see everyone else's age I realized I already did. Given how long ago it was I'm not surprised I forgot.

Indeed. It was more than 10 years ago that I posted in this very thread the first time.
Thank you to everyone who consoled me about my cat. I am feeling better now. It was quite an unsettling and bewildering experience to bury your pet, even though it wasn't the first time for me. This was the first pet that I could (and did regularly) call "my cat", as opposed to a cat of the family of my parents. The last time it happened, the cat was older than I was.
Since I don't have a wife, let alone any children, this cat was the closest thing I had to a child. I suddenly became aware of all the various ways that living with a cat had changed my life and affected my daily routines. It will take some time for that hole to heal completely, but the day before and the day after were definitely the worst. I had been saying goodbyes to my cat for many weeks before the fact: each and every morning being prepared to the real possibility that when I get back home from work, the cat might no longer be with the living; this made the aftermath a bit easier for me. Still, having to consciously make the decision to have him euthanized by a vet was a painful one, and being present during the whole procedure; something that may never completely end haunting my thoughts.
I am still the wizard that did it.
