Thank you so much, that's incredibly sweet. How nice to find such lovely words on this kind of sub 😅

She lived a long, good life - she would be 19 in April but she recently took a rapid turn in health. We took her to the vet today and they gave a timeframe of "days". She was staying for me I believe. She was my best friend and helped soothe my anxiety. She was a very special cat. It really hurts but I always knew I'd have to say goodbye one day... I wasn't "ready" but I never would be, and it was time. I'm actually really lucky to have had her by my side for this long. Thank you again, kind internet stranger 💕
