I am so sorry. I just lost my beloved avatar kitty this month. He wasn't even 5 years old. We think he had a bad heart (very common in Maine Coon and vet heard a murmer last year). Thankfully he gave no signs of being ill and did not suffer at all. He appeared to have died quietly in his sleep and appeared completely fine and normal the day before. It is so hard and heart breaking when they leave us but I have faith I will see them again.
