That's a beautiful post. I've been metaphorically crossing things for you since you first mentioned him missing. It's maybe a little less tragic that he seems to have died peacefully; I guess that's all any of us can hope for, ultimately.
Oh no....I am so, so, so sorry. I can relate to so many aspects of this post so well, though. My cat Stubby is very affectionate and talkative, with all sorts of sounds that are like a hybrid of a meow, a purr, a chirp. When McGuinness didn't show up on the doorstep two mornings in a row, I KNEW he was gone. Thankfully, his body was recovered from the neighbor's yard, and he just curled up and went to sleep too. I was relieved to get him back so I could have him cremated and keep his ashes.
Seven years is a lucky time, but it's still not long enough. Thankfully for him, you found him and took care of him and loved him and he got to live his too-short life in a good environment, which too many cats don't get to do.
My heart goes out to you for your loss. I know the pain is a horrible one. :-(
Oh shit honey that's so sad. I guess it's better to know for sure than keep wondering. It sounds like you have so many good memories I hope you can take comfort in. Let's face it - they're never "only a cat" because if that were the case we wouldn't feel so sad without them. You gave him many good years & for that I'm sure he is thankful.
