cats though the ages

Had another dream, about a specific cat.

To be honest, I'm not sure what this cat's name was. But today, I came to a conclusion, that this cat was special.

For years, I had a memory of a brown tabby that kept re-appearing in my life. He'd dissipear for weeks, months or sometimes years, then reappear for food, a good rubbing, etc. Then he'd leave again. Never knowing when I'll see him last or not.

Today, he re-appeared. Although I named him 'Petey' that was't my Petey. That cat was my best friend, whom I lost just before my move to my last home.

I was in some sort of home, when I saw this cat, I named 'petey' He was the same brown wanderer, and I told someone in it, I think my cousin, that I began to suspect that Petey here, is not exactly the same cat, but his son or daughter whom looks exactly like him, and came back as an adult. Petey's been around since...what 20 years? Or so?" (what's funny is; while talking to her, I was checking the package of food I was getting petey for wheat gluton :\ - the ingredient that I'm avoiding for Schyny

I don't remember too much more about that, except for how he looked. That was clear. Brown, short furred, tan nose, with a black line around it, and his ears. He also had lighter brown fur on his belly.

No idea what this dream cat's real name is, but I've come to some conclusions.

This 'memory' isn't a memory of an actual event, but of the same dream cat that appeared today. If so, that'd make perfect sense. I don t' know what the significant of this one cat is to me, unless it's a representation of 'Tabby' My first cat I had when I was about 5 or so. I can't really remember much of him, except a) coming home from school from my first fight, and finding mother having to cut Tabby's remaining leg off, after he was caught in a piece of farm machinery. (shiver) The leg was hanging by just a thin piece of skin. and b) I can remember finding him dead under a big tree, and I saying 'Tabby?' I wasn't much older than about 8 then.

Still no idea why that cat keeps reappearing in my dreams, or why it's manifested as a memory. But apparently he appeared enough that I remember him.

I think now, his true, official name will be "Mithrandir" - a name I think is appropriate. :)

Mithrandir, meet the 21th century.
