I have two full-time cats. Kaycee and the kitten he adopted, Skinx The part-time cat I named Mr. Tibbs, and he comes in for meals at the regular feeding times, (usually, not always). He is a battlescarred tom, not that old, but he's fought a lot of fights and under a coat of dense fur he's quite skinny. My Skinx is a tuxedo that Kaycee used to play with. One day Skinx' owner decided she wanted a ginger tom instead, so she threw her out. I noticed she was following Kaycee around and I watched as he guided her in the door and led her to his dish. She ate and promptly got sick because she hadn't eaten for so long, so I waited a bit and gave her a little soft food. She loved it, and suddenly I had two lovely cats instead of one. Happy ending for her and for me. I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful cat. Of course you miss her, and it's so hard to say goodbye to one you care about. My deepest sympathy to you.
