My 18 year oldish cat died tonight. We've known for a few months that his time was coming. I wasn't able to be there, because I live an hour away. But I got to say goodbye to him over spring break. He died peacefully, and without pain, so we were lucky. I suppose his kidneys weren't functioning and he got dehydrated. That happened in 07, too, but we were able to re-hydrate him. I'm so glad we did, he had another healthy 4 years.
He was always seen as "my cat". He slept with me almost every night when I still lived at home. We got him when I was five, and even though I was sometimes too rough with him as a child, he was unwavering in his companionship. He was a life-saver throughout my teenage years, when I was extremely angsty and sometimes depressed. And of course, every time I returned home to visit, it was like I'd never left. He was probably the best cat I'll ever have. Love him a lot.
