We had to have one of our two kitties put down last week. We enjoyed 18 years of her companionship. She was full grown when she showed up on our doorstep, so not sure of her age, but probably 19 to 20 years old.
I'm missing her terribly. She was my shadow, particularly since retiring 9 years ago. She loved her yard and asked to go out several times a day. During her senior years, I always (100%) went outside with her. When I opened the door, she always went out about 3 feet, then stopped and looked over her shoulder to make sure I was following. We enjoyed countless hours in our beautiful backyard together.
I buried her in her beloved yard, complete with a marker and a small solar light.
