15. We adopted her and she was no more than 10.

Had a complete annual check-up last year. Doc said one level was a bit elevated, but no serious concern.

She got finicky with dog food, so I made her Tilapia and rare filet mignon. She licked the plate clean. Also on numerous supplements. The last 2 days she was with me, changed drastically. Wouldn't eat. Not even yogurt or ice cream. I didn't even have a chance to bring her to the vet. She slept with me every night and passed next to me between 4-7a. that Wednesday morning. I can't get that image out of my memory seeing her.

We were gifted with 2 kitties in the past. Our boy reposed at 20 and our girl at 18.

I earnestly expected it to be this way with my Ella.

Yes, I feel her spirit with me, but not having her physical body to love on and care for hurts so deeply.

Perhaps I haven't matured in my reasoning ability.

You are so gracious to have this exchange with me.

*I* am abusing the classical forum group having opened up here.

Forgive me one and all.
