Such a lyrical and tender essay...thank you for pointing me to this post. I'm so glad the little tuxedo princess found you, and you her. She is absolutely gorgeous, and your description was perfect. I love that wide-eyed, splay-legged look.

Someday you will indeed, I believe, be reunited with the animals you've loved and cared for in this life. How could it be otherwise?

And thank you for introducing me to a new breed...I looked up the Norwegian Forest Cat and was quite taken. Such a fine breed. Reminds me of the Maine Coon cats. And anything related to the Vikings gets an instant "in" with me.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, my friend.

I need to work on smells when I write. Your descriptions are perfect in that regard! Smells definitely evoke memories, but I can't REMEMBER smells when I'm writing about a memory. Weird. Sort of like not having cell phones or computers in dreams. Thank goodness!
