I'm so sorry for your loss, she sounded like a great cat. How kind of you to go and adopt her even though you were told she would probably only make for 2 years. I for one don't know if I could do that, the thought of losing a pet in such a little amount of time would sadden me, but you reached into the kindness of your heart and did just that. And as if that wasn't enough, you obviously provided her with the best life anyone could as she lived well past her 'expected days.' So in other words, think about the fun times you shared with her as well as all of the good memories, and by doing that it will get you through to the next day. Bless you.

Also, here is an animation I found when my dog died 2 years ago. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch it.
