I haven't "lost" one yet, but the mere thought of losing her crushed me, so I can only imagine how you feel. I am so sorry for your losses, it has to be so tough.

Smokey was the best (the Blue Persian). He and the two oldest were all above 17 years old when they passed. They lived good long lives and gave my family much enjoyment and unconditional love. Heck, the first one that passed was almost 20 and I'd gotten her before my sons were born. She was my kid as much as they were.
Smokey was a total lap cat/people cat. Get out a hand vacuum and he'd be right there to get vacuumed. He loved stuff like that. I was lucky to have a good persian. I've seen some that are total stuck up snobbykitties.
I've done the breeder thing too, but only one litter back about 10 years ago. To get my female Pixie Bob I had to agree have a litter with the male of the breeder's choice and give her the best female kitten back. Luckily the whole thing with smoothly and momma cat knew by instinct what to do. She has 6 and we were prepared to end up losing a couple, but they all survived. I wasn't meant to be a breeder though... I kept 4 of the 6 babies who are all 10 years old now.
