Gaines is really different since Taj passed away...in a good way. He's certainly my little buddy now.
Toonces looked a bit like your Siamese. Gawd what a great cat he was.
I really love cats, but I won't get another one until someday when Gaines is gone. He seems to do much better as an only cat.
But it's hard, seeing pictures of kitties and baby kitties and kitties in the paper and kitties on my brother's "farm" and kitties kitties everywhere. I want them all!
