Weekend Cat Blogging #303

Butch grooming Vincent

For those who follow WCB, you may remember Butch died suddenly a short while back. Vincent adored Butch and Butch, feeling anything but threatened, literally took him under his tutelage. Today, Vincent does not have alpha cat status merely by his presence the way Butch did, but I have recently come to realize how much they are alike. 

Cats are such mysterious and mystical beings. Butch came to me in an unexpected way shortly before my cat, Smushface, died. Vincent also came into my life unexpectedly after his birth in a Tennessee barn, not long before Butch died. It is as if cats with very similar personalities and temperaments find their way to us when we need them the most. Is there some cosmic connection that brings a devoted feline friend into one's life as another devoted friend departs? It is an interesting thought.


Vincent is this week's entry for Weekend Cat Blogging, hosted by Kashim, Othello, and Salome at Paulchen's Foodblog?!





We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Scrappycat at Sidewalk Shoes and Fridolin at Rosa's Yummy Yums. We will miss them and our thoughts are with Pam and Rosa.

Gattina - We miss Butch. As with humans, every cat is an individual first, aren't they?
