I've lost a few. It really does hurt because I'm a homebody so I'm around them a lot, and if they're indoor cats they generally die due to old age and the illness that comes with it. They keep their personality but you can see things wear on them.

Having had a cat that died in 2018 a bit young at around ~11, I can say say he was happy for most of his life and even when he was sick with whatever he had, he still was really nice, appreciated company, comforted people, loved his litter mate, etc. I didn't dwell on it too long because, as silly as it sounds, I don't think they would've wanted that. He was a pet, but he peacefully passed in the care of his family.

I've had those thoughts a lot and all I can say is don't dwell on it too much and enjoy the time you have. Don't hesitate to get them seen by a vet if you can afford it, of course, but vets can only do so much in some cases.

Hope your cat does well, OP
