He's on my lap right now as I type. He's always been a needy boy, a lap cat, but when he's looking for Pidge, he wants to be left alone. He and Pidge were inseparable. They were together most of his life; he was barely a year old when I rescued her and he's nearly 19 now. She loved him so much; if he left the room, she was right behind him. People would comment on it and say "Look at how she looks at him!". It was though they were in love. For a while I had sightings of her but I haven't seen her lately. Maybe that's why his crying has increased. Maybe he saw her, too, and wants to see her again. He's such a good boy; I want his last years to be happy ones.
