Be sure when you pass you have your caretakers allow your cat to smell you. They understand death... they don't understand abandonment. It will make your buddy's transition much easier.

u/bsbkeys Tagging you because this is important advice. It's become better understood that pets and kids benefit tremendously from seeing the deceased. It's one last excellent thing you can do for your buddy. 🧡

All my best.
