For most of us this a sad event explain what's scary. Death is and not painless depending how it occurs. If you're cat was asleep and passed it was painless. 8 years ago my Yorkie drop dead with a full belly walking into the living right after eating. It was obviously sudden heart failure and I would say it was painless for him.
My mother dropped dead on her couch eating her lunch. A worker from her shop was sitting her and said her head just slumped forward and she was gone. Once again I know my mom went as quick as we can go and it was painless. There are many deaths that occur slowly and filled with pain.
Your kitties death to me is sad but I would say thankfully painless for which you should feel grateful for your kitty. 17 is a long life.
I'm going to say something I know is already on your post even though I'm blocked and can't see it.
You already rejected it but many of us don't. When we lose a pet we think of it crossing the rainbow bridge in a beautiful place waiting for us.
I have been through it so many times with pets and people I can't experience these moments without tearing up as am doing right now.

@Ferise1 I sat on the bed holding her hand when Vickie passed away. Her heart was quickly failing for the second time. Before I got there she had gone into cardiac arrest and they revived her but her heart was too weak to continue. We don't know what the mind is aware of or for how long when these things happen. But I do know CPR is not like television and everyone working in the health system knows it too.
You're straight up saying you don't believe there's anything after we die. If that's the case then there is no hell like you are talking about either.
So you also logically don't believe in heaven or any of the theory's that energy never stops it changes States.
Do you know science doesn't definitively know what consciousness is or how it works.

@Ferise1 I want you to think about something. Because I think I know why you feel that way. If I'm wrong so be it. You and have this in common. We both lost our significant other. You much sooner ago than me. But it still feels like yesterday to me. For starters I want you to think to yourself if you began feeling that way about death after your wife passed. I don't need an answer just be honest with yourself.
After Vickie passed I became more sensitive to any death that I ever felt in my life. I've experienced a lot of deaths going back to kids in my highschools, All in my family, coworkers and friends. 4 of them were suicides. But none of them including my parents compared to Vickie. Losing my mother was close but different. Losing Vickie left a gigantic hole in my world. I want you to know in reading about grief in general I also read how it affects our brain. The brain is massively affected because it's known environment has changed and its subconsciously experiencing a loss in a way we are unaware of. Yet of course that's where what we are feeling comes from. Every death I hear about affects me in some way now. It doesn't have to be real. It can be a fictional TV story it doesn't matter. The 1st week after Vickie passed I started thinking about my own death and that I myself was going very soon. Do you have that feeling? It's a feeling death is calling you. I went through that. I researchef all the end of life documents I need to take care of. What do I need to do to make sure Vickie's daughter gets what's in my checking account. And the other things. I know what all those things are now and 2 years later I have done none of them yet. I had a stroke 6 weeks to the day after Vickie passed then had a miraculous 2 week recovery. Whether you want to believe it or not I felt that she was watching over and helping to heal me and telling me it's not my time yet. I've been very sedentary since the pandemic and her passing only made me worse but even allowing myself to weaken lose and regain weight I don't feel I'm leaving this world tomorrow any more. Just allow yourself to reflect on all the feelings you've had since she past and seriously evaluate how it may have changed your thinking.

@Ferise1 Well something started you thinking that way and giving you that feeling. I'm willing to bet although for different reasons the feeling I explained I felt the same way you do but it changed rather than go away. No I haven't watched it yet but I will eventually. I need to be in the right mental state to watch any movie. I have favorite TV shows that keep me company more than I actually pay constant attention to them.
