Im a bit late, but nonetheless i want to offer my condolences. Losing a pet companion of many years is always a hard thing. However, what matters is not the ending, as all things eventually end, but rather the time in between.
And i've only ever personally heard of a cat that a friend of mine had growing nearly this old. He, Felix, lived to the age of 21 years and died naturally, of old age, in spite of many diseases he had wich did not seem to bother him as much as they did the vets!
