We don't know how old Baxter was, because we got him as a stray, but we've had him for at least 10 years. He loved his people. He was a chow hound and loved hanging out on our screened in back porch in nice weather. We called him "Bubby".
He had gotten frail over the past year, and just finally checked out. We gave him the best cat life we could. He had a good gig. I'll miss him very much.

Ugh... UGH!!! I feel for both of you George. About 18 months ago I rushed home from a business trip in Topeka because our ~16-year-old dog (who had been ailing) was going to pass. They kept her pain-free while I made the trip home, and when I got there and we made the final decision my younger son refused to leave when they put her down. It's rough, I'll pray for you both, and recommend buying a good bottle of wine, sipping, and remembering.
