So sorry to hear of what happened to stray. Such a sad but beautifully written account that was filled with emotion. I believe euthanasia was right for stray - I have heard of Saddle Thrombosis before and yes it is exceptionally painful for the kittie - too painful for them to keep on enduring indefinitely. Thank goodness Stray had to you to talk him through it he will always be with you.
Sleep in Peace Stray - no more pain.
