A week ago we lost our fuzzy girl 'Mantha. I know people have got to be wondering, so I'll explain here. I wasn't going to look for a new cat so soon, but two things happened: Ranada went into this spiral of self-blame and depression over it which was pure nonsense from the get-go. But you know how it is in a situation like that, logic means doodly you just have to work it all out yourself I suppose. Anyway, I was idly looking through the kitties available from Second Chance and I saw Dot's picture. I mean, I don't think I could have ordered up a more precise clone of Samantha in looks and love junkieness. So there you have it.

Yep - exactly what happened to me when I was absently browsing the SPCA photos after Ookie died. I wasn't going to get a clone - I figured that would not be good, and I'd always be comparing them and such.

Only... it wasn't like that. Sithreal was his own personality and there were no comparisons. Funny thing was, the similarity in looks between Ookie and Sithreal started to blur things in my mind and emotions. The horrid, raw pain disappeared.
