I'm so sorry. It's hard losing a beloved cat.

My kitty is 16 1/2, considered geriatric in the cat community, and losing weight. He's bony when I pet him. I've decided to not bring him in because of his age.

When the time comes I'll just let him go naturally.

Whenever I can't find him immediately I suspect the worst and go looking for him in his fave oddball places, half expecting to find him dead.
