I lost my dog in 2016 after she was 13 years with me (she was 15). Her health declined fast and we tried everything but she was in too much pain and we had to make the hard decision to put her down. I thought about losing her many times during her life and I also cried thinking I'd never get over her loss but now that I actually lost her I try to think that I gave her the best life I could and she was probably happy I could love her until the end because we're basically all they have in their lives. Now I got a kitten and I'm trying to just live the moment and get her to be as happy as I hope my dog was. It's sad that they don't live as much as we do but that's something we'll need to learn to accept, no matter how hard it is.

I made a mess of text and said pretty much nothing new but well. I wish you and your cat the best!
