Jennifer, I loved reading about your wonderful long life with your loved ones. I know you must be really enjoying the bridge, where you can run and play with all the other cats. what a wonderful story you have to tell them about your life on earth.
We lost our Doris when she was 19 and 3/4 and we had her from 8 weeks old in January 2010.
You make a mark on all our lives, and us humans never ever forget you.

I completely understand how much your mom misses you since I will always miss my Angel Beyli who also crossed over Rainbow Bridge on January 1, 2009. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him, more than once even. I just want to mention, in order to maybe help others so that they don't go through this horrible disease with their beloved fur babies - a diet of only dry food and the use of clumping litter may be responsible for the decline of their kidneys. A cat does not drink enough water normally with their tiny tongues (and when they do it is usually a sign that their kidneys are in danger) and they are also carnivores, so good quality canned foods (ie Natural Balance, Chicken Soup) are necessary for their organs to thrive (just like we wouldn't eat nuts all day with barely any fluids) and the clumping litters containing ingredients like sodium bentonite are VERY toxic (do a Wikipedia of what that ingredient is and you'll understand). The sodium bentonite does the same thing in your cat's body as it does in the litter box which is why the company has a bold face large font warning to not flush it - they don't want your pipes to block but they could care less what it does to your cat (or your dog who might like to fish in the litter box). Many vets are now being honest about these two problems, which were both created solely for our convenience, not for the health and safety of our cats.

Beyli had only dry food at the animal shelter before I adopted him - I understand that because the shelters cannot feed them good quality food, the funds are not there. We can make that change when we bring them into our homes though.
