Found him frozen in the middle of winter and thought he was dead. Bottle fed him, and now I have a 12 year old permakitten that hops on me any time I sit down anywhere.

I like to believe that cats truly do have 9 lives. But each of their lives is the entire time that they spend with an owner. While you got 18 years of wonderful companionship, she got to spend 0.1111111 of her entire lifespan being treated as a best friend and closest companion.
Some problems can only be fixed by a cat and some of the lives that some cats endure are surely more difficult than others. I’m sure she’s with her next assignment and still thinking about what a wonderful 18-year reprieve you gave her and I’m sure other cats are aching for their turn to spend a life with you based on reputation.
