For what it's worth, I think you made the right call. Knowing when to fight and hold on and when to help them go is the hardest part of having pets.

She had the best life a cat could ask for and you gave that to her.

Thank you for saying that. I told the vet I felt guilty, and she just responded "Don't." You can't ask them to make the decision for you, but hearing that made me feel like I made the best of two terrible decisions.
