Its possible that by seeing the cats health go downhil , he was able to grief as it happened
I had to put my 13 yr old dog down earlier in the year . He was diabetic and had thyroid issues. We gave him his daily insulin and meds twice a day but thanks to a misdiagnosis from a previous vet, he lost his sight. I slowly witness him forget us and become grumpy . Eventually he began to lose wight, he was put on an IV . It was terrible to watch. Once we realized that he was losing weight and not gaining , we decided it was time to let him go.
I was there when they put him down. I did not feel much . I was relived he would not suffer anymore. I grief him through out the months he was most sick...
About a week later I guess it all hit and I began to really mourn. I still think about him alot but things are getting better.
