She still probably would have gotten Diabetes even had you been taking her every year for the past 15 years. 15 is old for a cat. She could live another year or so but you say she has a tumor? What was said about that? Has it spread? Sounds like what happen to my cat. She was 16 and they found a tumor, removed it and then told me there was more and it was up to me at that point to either put her through misery of surgeries or just to let her go. She was doomed to less than 6 months no matter what.

I agree. You know your cat better than any of us. If you know that treatments aren'[t really going to improve because age might actually be the real issue, than dont be too hard on yourself for not wanting your cat to suffer additional anguish. If your cat is like mine, they HATE going to the vet and that just causes more stress on the poor thing. I have not watched an animal suffer because it was never let go that far. Sometimes I wish it was legal to do the same for humans.
