I'm sorry for your loss. It's wonderful that her last hours were spent with love, though. It reminds me very much of when my family's cat Neutie passed away. His health had been failing for months, and my parents were due to take him in to the vet to be put to sleep the next morning. My dad sat with him all night... and Neutie passed away on his own before dawn.

I was only 7 years old when Neutie died... I was very sad that he was gone, but at the time, I didn't understand how beautiful it was that my dad held him and petted him for the last hours of his life. It was my dad who had brought him home 22 years earlier as a stray kitten (the story goes that after finding the kitty curled up asleep in a tire in the shop where he worked, he carried him home in a bucket... in my mind I like to imagine him presenting this kitten to my mom and saying "Can we keep it?!" )

I hope Buffett and Neutie say hello to each other sometime, and trade stories about how loving their human parents were.
