Dave, my condolences. Lost a maine coon back in 1998. Took a while to get over it, since I had him for 12 years. About 3 years ago, another maine coon came into my life. Markings aren't identical, this one's bigger, and with a deeper voice, but the mannerisms are the same. I don't normally believe in reincarnation, but this cat is too much like my previous one...
