My cat died yesterday

[Denis]

My deepest condolences for your loss. In March I lost my 18.5 year old cat, Nick, so I know how you feel.
Corey was a beautiful cat and I'm sure she knew she'd found a great home with you. We are lucky to have such wonderful critters in our lives.

so sorry for your loss.  Pets are truly part of the family and it has always been really tough to lose one.  Good luck with the other.

"Corey was always a big girl and we worried that her weight would be a detriment to her health to the point that we would only allow her to eat on the top rung of the cat tree, so at least in climbing for supper, she would get some exercise. She was not amused, but had the good sense to recognize that I was far more stubborn than she, so she played along and climbed up and ate from her lesser-filled bowl and then would sneak and steal everyone else's leftovers later."

What a brilliant epitaph!

One thing I learned is that cats hide their illnesses. It's probably not the real reason but I like to imagine that they do it for us...

I'm sorry man. Very sad. Cats are amazing creatures.

They tug at your heart - but they are eventually gone.  Be well, and let time heal.

I always liked this view of the difference between a dog and a cat - a dog is a pet, a cat has assistants...

She had some kind assistants that gave her the care and love she needed... rip

That goes along with something I heard someone once say:  a dog has owners, a cat has a staff.

That was a beautiful obit. I'm glad she found you when she did because it sounds like you all benefited from your time together. She sounds like a wonderful friend and entertainer.
