I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to Bubble. Him turning yellow is a very clear sign that he had a problem with his liver, and it was likely serious at his age. Even if you had done the tests, there may not have been anything you could have done to help him. I know you wish you could have done the tests, but you did what was best for him. You allowed him to pass without further pain, and that's a wonderful gift to your cat. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
