Divina, I think your Esme photo shoot is a form of healing. Who is better qualified to teach us to be in the moment but a cat? Cats are relaxation and enjoyment experts, appreciating the luxury of each moment. They possess a self-actualization that humans struggle to achieve. I have no doubt that Esme is your teacher. Not only as a cat but as a cat with a disability that she doesn't allow to make her disabled. At this trying time, she is your guru. Photographing her is your way of absorbing what she has to teach.
