Ok this is going to sound like pure insanity. Infact I'm 100% it IS insanity.

I was at a very lonely point in my life when I found my old cat brooks. We were close as close could be for a short while until I lost him in the Feb of this year ( http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...ghlight=brooks )

This is red (still alive) and brooks (sadly gone)


Obviously I'm still heartbroken about brooks and I've moved across the country to be with my boyfriend (have been here 2 months) I read an advertisement in the paper 5 days ago about a girl cat needing a home. So I decided that we could give a home to the 'girl' kitty

This is the cat with my boyfriend.

Looks exactly liked my brooks.
It's without a doubt a boy (I've had a look) He has not left my side since the moment I got him.

Am I being a delusional freak? Probably so but lol It's a bit bloody freaky.. you must agree?

Not so strange. Mitten was a blue mctabby with white. When he died of cancer, I decided I could not have another blue tabby/white cause it would remind me too much of Mitten.

At a cat show, I was looking at the SPCA cats and there was a little red mctabby/white boy for adoption (4 months old and a big boy too). Something told me "this was the one" - maybe Mitten did pick him out.

He was marked almost exactly like Mitten except for the color red vs blue. And he loved having his picture taken, just like Mitten did. One of the pictures I took had him standing next to Mit's Morris Trophy (a special HHP award) When I was putting the picture away - there was the same photo of Mitten with the trophy - except Reds was on the other side - but same pose!


To this day I have not owned another blue tabby!

I honestly don't know what to say that that. I guess we all have to do what feels right for us. You had to do what felt right for both you and Mittens honour.

Me personally. I have never felt anything spiritual, never had any faith, never been a Christian. I'm both scared and amazed by this cat. I've never met a 9 week old kitten who has been so fearless about a person that they have stayed by their side constantly. Yet I know a kitten is clingy and will take to a person like a mother.

I guess.. I know.. It's wishful thinking but.. I feel I've been given a second chance
I know, call the men in white coats :p

Well, it's certainly an amazing coincidence to have acquired another kitty that so much resembles Brooks! What a sweetheart...congrats to you! It's a wonderful way to keep Brook's memory alive in your heart and home!

You don't have to be a Christian, or in fact have any religion at all, in order to recognize the mysterious currents and eddies that flow through our lives, and what they bring to us. Personally, I believe such things are the result of an as-yet unidentified type of energy that we all affect and are affected by... nothing "supernatural" at all, just a level of reality we don't yet understand.

I used to know someone who had studied a lot of Eastern philosophy, and he told me some ancient culture -- maybe the Sufis? -- said that "Your being attracts your life." Well, that makes sense to me. What you are, what you do, how you feel, who you love... all those things draw certain experiences to you.

You must be doing something right.

I'm not a Christian, either, but I do believe in the supernatural. Having "faith", meaning religious faith, has nothing to do with experiencing things "otherworldly". I'm a big believer in fate, and it seems that you were meant to find that kitty.

So, don't worry about it, and just appreciate your luck.

I think that Brooks is at least sending you a message to love anew!

At the very least, it's a pleasant coincidence, especially if you're ready to give this new kitty a home.
