I think you owe it to them to be holding them and soothing them through the process. It's really painless - they simply go to sleep. Both of the vets out here we've used were great. The assistant patted my back both times while I bent over the cat. And then when it was done they both left the room and gave me all the time I needed to cry in private.
It hurts like hell during but in a weird way feels "right" afterwards.
