What a beautiful, beautiful fellow Chester was! It's so wonderful you had each other for so many years. I loved my calico, Taffy, for twenty years. She was not the lovey-dovey type to most people, but she and I had a special bond. I rescued her from underneath a lawn mower after she and her mom and siblings had been abandoned by owners. It took me five years after losing her for me to even think of letting another cat own me. I am now Mother of Pearl and Lennox.
I recommend the book, Cat Heaven, by Cynthia Rylant, to anyone who has lost a dear feline friend. (And Dog Heaven for the dog owners.) It is a beautiful book.
Mother of Pearl
