Yesterday we were at the mechanic getting an oil change on the car. They have several kitties that live in their shop --- lovely little tuxedos. One of them kept jumping on my lap for some affection. Adorable little kitty, but it convinced me more than ever that I'm not ready for another cat. Of course we have our 2 little girls - Tippytoes and Angel -- but nobody could take Tony's place. I'm sure that at some point in the future there will be that special one. Oh - i forgot to tell you -- a couple of days after Tony crossed the bridge I was looking at some Facebook posts. There is a local cat rescue facility that operates out of Petsmart and I always get posts from them. In fact, the original rescue facility was the one that we got Tony from 15 years ago. Anyway, she had a post of a kitty that looked almost exactly like Tony when we adopted him. the funny thing was that this kitty's name is also "Tony". I kept looking and looking at him, (showed it to Paul who was also shocked at the resemblance). I contacted the lady who runs the adoption facility and she said that anytime I wanted to meet little Tony she would arrange it. I thought about it long and hard and decided that it's not the right time. I would only find myself comparing the two cats and that wouldn't be fair to "little Tony". The fact that he had the same name, was the same age Tony was when we adopted him, and the looks was just chilling. When the time is right I'll contact her. She sent me a later message that Tony was just adopted to a family living here in Naples, FL. Happy that little Tony found his forever home and I hope he had the long and happy life that my Tony had.
Thank you for all the kind words -- they mean the world to me.
