I feel your pain, seriously. I had to put my little guy down a couple of months ago (that's him in my sig picture).
He would have been 18 next month and I got him when he was 8 weeks old. He knew more about me than any living human - sure glad he couldn't talk!
I've got his ashes on my fireplace mantle.

These two guys showed up at our place when they were just a few months old... they lasted about
16 years, the one in the foreground (Barney) lasted a bit longer than the one in the back, both great
kitties... it was just a year or so ago when we put Barney down, he was in my lap, it only took about 30
seconds or so for the shot to kick in, he was a sweet kittie up to the last second, and I was boohooing when it
was over.



There's a bunch more kitties out there that need someone who will take good care of them... so now we have
these two:

I feel your pain. The worthless furbal of a male i thought had gone missing showed up the other day-scritched his ears and rubbed his belly-he forgave me.  A big 10-4 on all kinds of little kittys up for adoption. Take your time-only you know when your ready for that new furbal in your life. If you don't know-and you is a wonderin-furbal-fur ball as in worthless fur ball-except to said person the furbal has seen fit to adopt and otherwise grace our presence.

Sorry to hear it. I know how you feel.

Been there. It's not a good feeling at all. 
What keeps me owning these little furballs is knowing how much they give us, & how much good life you can give them back. I am 53 years old & I have never been without a cat in my house, ever.
Still have wonderful good thoughts of all the time I have spent with my cats long since passed.
Number one in my heart still is Buddy. He passed on in Dec. 2004 just 5 months short of his 23rd birthday. He never raised a paw in anger no matter many other cats we brought in during his life.
Buddy is the black & white Sylvester looking guy in the pic. We still have the two little babies now over 8 years old in the chair with him.
Cats, like some people, you can never forget.

23 Bloody hell!!!

Yup. Born in May 1982, Died Dec. 29, 2004.
Actually he was 22. I had 5 cats during the 80's & 90's that made the move up here to Ocala with me. The youngest death was 16 years old, 2 made it past 18, 1 was 19. They all were inside/outside cats about equal time.
I guess I'm a good cat caretaker.
