Willy was a foster cat I had. I obviously failed because he stayed with me which can be common. I had him since he was weened from his mother. Blue eyes which would eventually turn emerald green. He was everywhere I was. He would put his paws on me delicately when he wanted attention and would rub his face into mine. He suddenly started acting funny and was swollen in the abdomen. See male cats can get UTIs that become impacted but don't become a problem until it's too late. I watched him as he cried to me. No fever, swinging his tail. Made a vet appointment for the next day. Got up to use it and saw him next to the full food bowl and water bowl. He was gone. Had been for a while. Now he's a box ashes and a baggie of fur. I still see him in my dreams and he's fine. Thanks goats.
I know how it feels, we lost our cat Sunday morning. He was hit by a car. He was a couple months old when my kids found him in our garden, one thing led to another and the next thing you know we had toys, a litter box, food, etc.
I was never much for cats but this cat bonded really well with my kids and with me as well. My wife has always been creeped out by cats and fur but eventually started letting him sleep in the house first on cold nights and later on for almost any reason. She started to appreciate him so much (due to the really cool relationship he had with the kids) she even took a picture with him in her arms (she wrapped him in a towel first; she really is creeped out by fur) and later on began to pet him with her bare hands.
We only had him for three years but I really liked that damn cat. My whole family is bummed out, just like you are right now.

Sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace to both my cat and yours.
