I'm so sorry. They work themselves firmly into our hearts. It's so easy and uncomplicated, loving a pet, often much easier than loving a human. I cried over Princess Fluffykins, and over Socks, and I didn't cry when my FIL died or even when my father died.
You'll experience little cat-ghosts, like the place between you and the pillow. And it is painful. But you kept Hugo happy to the age of 17, so it's no wonder things feel wrong. When you're ready there will be another cat that needs to be loved.
