My sympathies. About 10 years ago I lost my feline companion through 18 years. My current cat, a male Norwegian Forest-cat is 14 years old and while he's still agile and an active hunter, he's noticeably more docile and sleepy and this thread reminded me to appreciate the time we have left as it's easy to take old friends for granted. Cats are fabulous company and comes with a wide range of interesting personalities and they are great companions.
Thanks for sharing and my deepest condolences.
