This is my cat, she had 12½ wonderful years with us... Slept a lot of it, as cats do. She would always sleep on my bed, but would always jump on my table when she was done and wanted to cuddle.
Despite being 12 years old, she was always healthy and looked great despite her age. She was extremely small, but managed to scare away all cats that reached her, she was a small cat with a big personality.
But today I lost her... She walked into my room and randomly fell over and quickly died in a random heart failure... My family and I were by her side as she died in, so we got closure.
My little cat "Mille" died at the age of 12½... She has been with me since I was 6. We originally got her to cheer my mother up, who was suffering from depression. However in the end she ended up being the one who cheered me up. She would always sleep in my room and through the horrors and bullying of school. She would always bump her head at my leg whenever I cried. She was always by my side and I was the only one in the house allowed to pick her up.
Looking at her age, I thought I was prepared, but now all I can think about is digging her up and finding her miraculously alive, but I know that can not be.
Not sure if this gets downvoted, but I just wanted to share her... She was great.

At 12 1/2 it wasn’t random. She had a good life and it ended painlessly. That’s a blessing. My regards.

The love of a cat is a blessing and a privilege in this world. I’m very sorry for your loss, @OP.

They are picky creatures and play on their own rules, they pick you, not the opposite!

It will never be easy, but it only makes you realise how much they were worth

Lucy, my cat during my divorce, would often wake me from crying in my sleep on my chest purring and looking at me. Cats know. Yours did too.

I have depression/anxiety, and I'm always woken from nightmares by my dog nuzzling his nose to my cheek. Critters are the best, so sorry OP.

Cats and dogs are really too good for us, we got their back and they got ours
