So sorry to hear about poor Jesse. It sounds like she really was a special kitty, and will live on in your hearts.

And I have to welcome you to PT, even though it is under such sad circumstances. Hopefully you will gain some comfort from all the wonderful members here.

I have a 16 (almost 16 1/2) year old kitty too. Tubby. He was diagnosed as being in the early stages of kidney failure about 1 1/2 years ago now, but he is doing well and seems to be acting more and more like the spunk he used to be (I think it's the cooler weather).

If you have pictures of Jesse, we would love to see them, and we would love to hear any stories you have to tell about her. You definitely came to the right place as MOFF said.
