Roberta I think your dear Jeremy is meeting Jessica. 19 years, you must still miss him terribly. I know I miss my Jessica and still have tears. I chose Holly because she is so different from Jessica thus I feel I can allow her to be Holly. I am enjoying getting to know her as I am sure you are getting to know your little fur bundle of joy.

Cats love to be at eye level with us or perhaps higher. Looking at our ankles, chair legs and sofa skirts is so limiting. Great observation about soundings. My vet said that it seems older cats do that to re-orient themselves. My late Puffin used to repeatedly call out at night even with the lights on. I'd get up, talk to him and pet him and he'd be ok- for a few hours.<br />Congrats to the two newly adopted kitties and their mums. Each cat is his own entity . Wanting another cat shows that the first cat has done his job well.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-12384374114681763332016-02-21T04:38:25.076-08:002016-02-21T04:38:25.076-08:00The tops of bookshelves are a most excellent place...The tops of bookshelves are a most excellent place for cat meditation.

As I posted to you a few weeks ago, I lost my 19 year old cat, Jeremy, shortly after New Years. And like you, I just welcomed a new kitten to my household. As John said, the new animal will not replace the one we lost, but it will ease the pain a little.

Maybe he is enjoying his observations from a different angle.<br />He is like Flynn, He likes to sleep on my tummy, but I think that when he knows I am asleep he goes down by my feet. I only have to stir and he walks along me to see if I am awake and shoves his nose in my face purring his loudest purr.This happens every time I move in my sleep and wakes me, but I could never ban him from the bedroom. My husband meanwhile sleeps through it all, and can never understand why I am tired in the morning.Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-74202327566041839062016-02-20T11:39:54.483-08:002016-02-20T11:39:54.483-08:00You do make me laugh!
