We lost Macy a few weeks ago to medical issues. Now I'm finding that Atlas as changed a little bit too. He seemed to say with me on the bed and maybe, me a little bit each night. Now that the kitty is not around he doesn't spend as much time with the and is attached to do that whenever she's home. I have gotten the impression he spent time with me because he was jealous of the kitty and he wanted to be on the bed before she came up. When she slept between my legs you would always have his head as closer as he could get without her smacking him with the right paw.
I'm pretty sure I could never find a cat that I could love like I did Macy. She had the softness sweetest little meow you could ever imagine. It mostly sounded like a few squeaks and we called her Squeaky. The best thing was when she would do the "soundless meow". It was as if she was so overcome with distress that she couldn't speak. I can't imagine another cat having her quietness.
I think that we are considering trying to find a dog to be my companion so that when Atlas goes home with Tom next June I have a companion dog. Of course we're going to be extremely picky so I'm not sure it will for happen. Janette will get stuck with all the work and she will probably end up with the pat rather me. Atlas is still somewhat affectionate to me and he gets up on the arm of my chair and gives me kisses with fairly easy commands. He also lays on the couch and his head on a pillow and he stares at me. I called them over the other day and he came and laid by my chair but I don't think that's very comparable for him because it is bare laminate flooring with no soft rug or anything. He still gives me some affection and last night he stayed on the bed sleeping on my arm for about an hour before he came out the living room with my wife.
