Hey!
   As a fellow audiophile and a cat owner I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. 
   My now almost 11 years old cat Mr. Bubble is my listening buddy also. Yes, sometime I would look at him and can't help thinking that it won't be long 'til that day come. 
   But 'til that day I will enjoy the time with him and do my best to make sure that he is happy while he is with me and my family. 
   Mark, just remember he lived a good life. 

Take care,
Buddy
