I have personal experience with both issues, but with a dog not a cat. My heart goes out to you. It hard to know what the right thing to do about your back. But I can say getting another cat would help you tremendously. You never let go of the love you had for the cat that walked with you for 17 years, but you learn that your heart is big enough to share with a new furever friend. My prayers are with you.
Same here, my dog of 15 years passed soon after I started having problems with a disc in my back. Iโm glad (almost) everyone has been respectful about her health
