I am very sorry to hear of your losses as well. I know how it is to lose pets, as I have lost three (a dog and two cats) in my lifetime; however, the loss of these pets was due to old age (my dog was twelve years old) and severe illness (both my cats had to be put down, one at eight years of age, the other at six and a half). My third cat, Kiki, is now eleven years old and doing well; I'm hoping she will be with me for quite a while yet (she is an indoor cat, so I don't expect to lose her from serious illness brought on by germs, etc. from outside my apartment).

My thoughts and prayers are with you. It is never easy to lose animals we have grown to love. You will never be able to "replace" the two cats you lost, but you will always have your memories of them.
