I am so very sorry to hear your sad news Sharleen.
My last cat (before taking some time off from pets) did something similar. I had a trip booked to Jamaica and my cat was very old and ill. I knew I had to put her down before my trip and made arrangements to bring her to the vet. It is such a hard decision to make and I did not want to be influenced by the trip.
I got ready to go to the vet - got her carrier from the attic and when I went to go get her she had squeezed her sweet self behind the toilet and died.
It was such a relief to not have to watch that fatal needle go in - I have never stopped thanking her from sparing me that pain. Ive been there before and it is so darn hard.
As sad as it is that you lost Roamie, I am happy to read that she died on her own. I know how much that has meant to me over the years and I am sure it will be great comfort you as well.
It sounds like it's time to plan a trip!
