What a beautiful Cat you are Spike.
I too have had Cats who were not cuddlers or lap Cats , but the love was always there between us.
Spike has his job ahead of hom with Our Awesome Angels Army in Paradise, and Spike will find you a place where you will reunite as well as visiting you to make sure taht you all right.
The good thing is that we will be all together in love.
One Fine Day
