Hey Jesse,
Made me cry too knowing your heartache, loss, grief. Take care.

Belated condolence for you loss. Lost my Buckley 7-8-14. He was a mouser, a birder and an everything "elser." It's tough. Adopted Wolfgang Lipschen a few weeks ago from the local humane society. A lot of purrs and headbutts followed.

I lost too a 18 1/2 old cat (a magnificent Tonkin cat) called Gypsie, in 2008.
I still think of him every day, and it's photograph still on my desk, next to my kids....
I DO understand your mourning...
bit:
So sorry to hear of your loss.
I've had cats all my life, and miss every one of them.
This site is pretty cool:
Pet Loss>Rainbow Bridge
Quote: Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

bit:
Whether for a cat, dog, hamster, or human, and whether you plant it over a grave or just anywhere as a 'tribute', one thing you can do is plant an Easter Lily or white tulip.
Then, for most of the year, the spot remains barren or grassy, with no sign of what you have done.
But once a year in early Spring, green leaves will magically pop up where before there was no trace of a plant, and then a stem, and finally, a white flower.
Then within about a month, it will wither and die back, and disappear again and totally vanish as if it never was, until next year.
