oh so interesting...i did have one stray who befriended another cat of mine and again he didn`t stay long...perhaps this was him again.....I think your cats spirit shows himself as one particular breed so you and others will recognize him as the same spirit...you must be soul mates...you have helped him and he has helped you..in what ways? I suppose only you would have the answer to that...fascinating that animals and humans form such special bonds...peace my friend....much love to you and your kitties!

For several years, I had the most wonderful cat, Sebastian, he was originally my roommate's cat but became mine when I moved out, he bonded with me immediately and we were soulmates.  We had a wonderful time together, then all of a sudden at the age of 5 he passed away from kidney failure, I couldn't stop crying for months.  This happened immediately before circumstances led to me having to move away from the place in which I was living at the time.  A lot of time passed before I got another cat, then I adopted Anya, who I don't think I've known in this lifetime but I think I did know her from another one.  Then several months later, I wasn't intending to get another cat, I was at work, a tiny kitten was trapped under the woodwork because of a storm.  When I saw the eyes looking through I could swear I was staring right at Sebastian all over again.  Either way, I couldn't let a kitten be stuck out there, so I got a manager to go out there with a hammer and crowbar, he rescued her, and I took her home questioning whether I could handle another cat but feeling like this kitten definately came into my life for a reason.

I've become more and more sure this kitten is Sebastian, she responds to his name and his own personal nickname, likes a lot of the same foods, has a lot of the same habits and personality traits(very peculiar personality traits at that!), plus I was told after he passed he'd come back to me as a she.  He is a she this time, her name is now Giselle, her and Anya get along like a house on fire, and well I've known along that Sebastian is extremely special and can never go away from me completely!

thank you for sharing that... your story made me  smile....and brought me the feeling of joy....peace my friend...may the purrrrs be with you

That's what our kitties are here for

indeed!!...they are precious companions!
