It doesnt sound the least bit silly, Lobo... it sounds like you loved your kitty and that she was very blessed to have been a part of your family. I've had to put down my 2 old beloved cats in the past 2 yrs, both at 17 yrs of age, and each time it was a very sad time for me. I have added more kitties to the family, because my house and life require cat companions.
Many understanding hugs
