Oh pinkbikes, I'm so sorry for your loss It's so hard with older cats - freedom or safety? My mum's cat tore a ligament in his leg climbing outdoors, now she is so careful when she lets him outside, but you know, it's so hard to watch them all the time or to keep them inside always. You did the right things, don't blame yourself.

It sounds like you gave your kitty a lot of love, which is the most important thing.
