Did I make the wrong choice by putting my cat down, then, when her tongue was bulging out of her mouth, and her belly was so distended she couldn't walk due to an infection? I mean, she couldn't voice consent...

No, I think in such cases you could assume that the animal would prefer to die quickly.

But that case isn't like what you have with animals being killed for food. What you have in the case of meat production is preemptive euthanasia. You don't kill a young healthy adult human under the excuse that "if they'd live to old age, they would likely die horribly of cancer or whatnot." So, why do so with animals?
