I too wish I'd been there for you. Because I know what it's like. My Prince (my first cat ever, my family, my friend, my life) died 2 years ago.
I remember the day I had my eureka moment with my ex husband: I looked at him and said, surprised: "I suddenly see you like Las Vegas in daylight". I filed for divorce a few days later.
Oh I love that line! Vegas in daylight!

I know just what you mean.
I'm so sorry about your cat, Moondust. When you love a great pet who was the world to you, that animal is no different from family, a friend, a furry child, a buddy. RIP Prince.
