Mike… I’m so sorry for your loss of Ashes. I think folks that never owned a cat, or dog can’t realize just how strong the bond becomes over time. Really not much difference than losing a family member.

Know how you feel. Had to put my 'Fat Cat' down last fall, also at the age of 21. He was a great kitty for most all of this century. Like your Ashes, he had a good life. His running mate is still going strong at 22. May Ashes & Fat Cat RIP chasing squirrels in kitty heaven (or wherever).

Mike, I am so sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences for your loss. When I had to put the last two cats I had adopted, Eddie and Lucky, down, it was devastating. I grieved each of their loss for a year, respectively.
What I've found that helps to cope with the loss is, when ready, to adopt another companion animal and work to make their life as fulfilling as possible.

Deeply sorry for your loss, Mike. Have had to put one such good friend down at 21, so I know the void that comes with saying goodbye.
