Did you feel guilty when you had to take your cat to the vet to be fixed?

Tonight I was watching an old episode of Fraiser, where he has to take his Dad's dog Eddie into the vet to have him fixed. And, he felt so guilty about the entire event, that he sat there in the waiting room explaining to the dog why it was a necessary procedure and what type of carefree fun he would have once he had the operation. It was a hilarious sight! Personally, I know how he felt. When it was my time to take my cat to the vet, I felt horrible. The poor fellow was scared and confused and frightened. And, when he came home from the vet, he could barely walk. I think it was just the pain medication that they gave him. And, that can't possibly be the easiest operation for a little animal. I felt so guilty for a very long time. But, ultimately it was very necessary, because we had just added a little female cat to our household and we knew it was only a matter of time before she started trying to have kittens. The guilt went away very quickly once he got back to normal after about a week. Did you feel guilty when you had to take your cat or kitten to the vet's office to have them fixed? How did you deal with the guilt?
