I feel for you.  I was in your shoes for my 18 YO Abyssinian two years ago 
around this time of year.  I'm glad you were able to make this final act of 
kindness, and I know it is hard.

I was preparing my guitar case for a show last month.  I found a few 
distinctively ticked brown hairs in it and it brought instant tears.

Ginger used to love to lie in the soft interior of my guitar cases, even though 
I would constantly chase her out because the top could fall on her.  When I 
would catch her, usually as I was packing for a show, she would raise up her 
tiny head, defiant.  My preliminary scolding hiss would only make her hunker 
down deeper into the plush.

"Make me", her steady eyes conveyed.

Once again I would reach in and scoop her up placing her on her much plusher, 
but not forbidden so less interesting, bed.  She would stretch, give me one 
last withering gaze, and settle into a nap, triumphant in getting me to react, 
which was the whole point of the exercise.

All the best for your own healing heart.
