I am so sorry that you lost your darling cat. I lost my cat this year as well and literally lost her. She was very old and was an indoor/outdoor cat and she always came home. Then one day she just didn't. I hope she passed on her own and not by the coyotes or foxes that call the woods around my house their home as well, but she was ancient and had eluded them for years.
Cat's and artists have always been fast friends.
Thank you! Sorry for your cat also.
