Also I wanted to add that you shouldn't beat yourself up at all about his illness. Kidney disease in cats and dogs is one of those things where they have slightly abnormal values for a really long time and then there is a precipitous decline and usually death soon after. And there is very little that can be done for it. Even in humans usually a transplant is the only hope of a "cure" and only a few veterinary hospitals will even try transplants. Meanwhile pre-transplant he would need to be on dialysis and again only a few University-type vet clinics are capable of that.
Merlin was loved and cared for and he's up there at the bridge reacquainting himself with his former housemates. He knows you're sad but he is at peace.

I'm so sorry, but it's nice that he chose his own time to go
