Amber has a double!

I was in the pet shop today to get some food. There was a cage with
five rescue kittens. One looked exactly like Amber. Orange fur, white
nose. white cheeks, white chin, white vest, white tummy and four white
paws. I was almost tempted to take it home but I'm sure Amber would not
take it kindly. She would probably consider it a "replacement".

Molly has a near double across the street. Fortunately their
behavior is very different and Molly2 wears a collar and bell most of
the time. But we certainly do a double take anytime we see her.

I'd love to get them side by side to compare their markings, but they
are close enough and the colors and size are the same.

Every time I see a white cat, or a picture of one, I try to see Blizzard
(RB). But, they all look a lot different from her.

She had a very distinctive face, with the one tiny black speck on her
nose leather.

How I miss her

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

Do you ever dream about Blizzard? Last night I dreamed about Princess (Siamese RB 16).
I dreamed I found her cold and dead. I was stroking her fur and feeling
sorrow when she awakened and ran away from me. That convinced me (in
the dream) that she was not dead. MLB
