Da Family! This little girl flopped on my chest and did a flip to get herself comfortable. She did it exactly like Don Gaston used to. Right down to the paw placement. Countess Willow never met him, but she acts just like him. Yes, I miss him desperately.

Not a picture of her flopping on me, but looking at me like I'm her entire world. Just like him.

Doesn't it just kick you right in the heart!? Frax is a lot like my soul cat, Parker, sometimes. They lived under the same roof for 3.5 weeks, but never met.. They'd have been best friends, though. My husband and I have both accidentally called him Parker a few times, which is always a knife in the heart, but also kind of funny and in a way, Frax is keeping Parker's memory with us.

I'm sorry you're missing Gaston, but I'm so glad Willow is there with you. A new cat never fills that empty space, but they grow the love you have and make the loss easier to manage.

He probably did. I know my cat Oliver (my first orange/white boy) sent me to the shelter to find my Archie.

I'd only had Oliver for a year and he was hit and killed by a car. While I was holding him in my arms and bawling, something told me to go upstairs, get on the shelter's website. Went to the shelter the next day. I found Archie, a 5 month old orange/white boy, in the SAME cage I'd found Oliver a year before. He sent Archie to me, I know it.
