I’m so sorry uglybiker.
God bless you and comfort you.
There seems to be a number of us going through this at the same time.
I also have a cat who is going on 17. She's still lively and happy, but I'm going to have to prepare myself for the day when her time comes, too. But as all things must come to an end, others are just beginning. I have another cat who is pregnant. I'm about to have a house full.
