^ Oh wow. It's so nice to have a pet with you that long. My first cat died about 2 1/2 years ago. I had him for 10 years, so yeah I kinda get what you're saying about them being there during your childhood. I wasn't as attached to him though. As he was supposed to be my cat, he became much more attached to my dad. :It doesn't matter how long you had him, it's the fact that you got attached in that time. It's easy to love a pet easily and it's obvious that happened. I'm glad you won't be crying.
While I don't want to take the gloss off your story, I had a cat since I was about 4. She was great and would sleep on my bed and could even sleep to my death metal. She loved me and she was the most awesome cat ever. She died last year (the circumstances around her death is a long story for another time) and that was really sad, because she saw me through my toddler years, to being a child, through my tweens and teens into adulthood. She's been there no matter how I felt or what I had to say, if anything. No pet could ever replace her.
She sounds like she was such a wonderful cat. Bless her kitty soul. :
