I know that I talk a lot on here about my little buddy Sylvester, and I just saw the thread where Gary T. talks about Theodore and his beloved Oliver who has passed, and I would like to hear about others who have a cat who is a "reminder" of lost loved ones, not a replacement but a reminder like Sylvester is to me of Simon and Sebastian who passed and who he is a "purrfect" 50/50 blend of those two boys, long hair with a big plume of a tail like Sebastian and a Tuxedo like Simon was, a wonderful tribute and reminder to me of those two great boys that we were lucky enough to have shared many great years with. I don't think about it consciously a lot like I used to when we first got him over 3 years ago, but it is always there in the back of my mind, he never was gotten to "replace" them but more as a living reminder of them plus he is a great cat in his own right, truthfully, I think losing those two and others makes me appreciate him even more.
I would love to hear any stories like this, and so would Sylvester!
