I find the following words to be of great comfort when dealing with the loss of one of my fur-covered, four-legged children. I hope the words can bring you and your family some measure of comfort on the passage of Kit Kat. Know that you showed her the greatest love you could by letting her go peacefully and surrounded by those who love her...
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to some-
one here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows
and hills for all our special friends so they can run and
play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health
and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong
again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times
gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small
thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be
left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when
one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are
intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he begins to run
from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him
faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to
be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your
hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more
into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your
life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

So very sorry. You are right, you can always see it in their eyes when it is time. I always take one last photo so the next day when I am positive I made a mistake or should have pursued more options, I can remind myself that it was the right thing for my furry baby.sigpicComment

Oh, man, Ben.
I'm so sorry.
Having just come from losing our dog weeks ago, I know exactly how you feel.
You did such a good job nursing her back to health. She had the best home ever....

Aw man, sorry to hear that Ben.I know how it feels. I had two Himalayan Persians for sixteen to sixteen and half years...they died within 6 months of each other. It ripped my heart out.
I swore I'd never get anymore pets because I couldn't bear losing them. They become family.
I now have two more.sigpicComment
