On the cat's belly was a skinny green line tattooed. This surely was Alec's cat because he loved to draw long skinny lines and green is his favorite color.
This cat was so sweet and cuddly and just wanted us to snuggle her and pat her. We all felt that Charlotte was definately the one. So we adopted her, Al's cat.
From the moment we brought her home and still, she looks up and all around and stares and even opens and closes her mouth as if she is talking. We always look to see what she sees, knowing it is Al, wishing we could see too. She loves long skinny things just like Al-- she steals straws constantly from our drinks to play with them, she plays with skinnies which Al loved (the plastic piece that hold price tags on clothes). She waits outside the bathroom door for Keith to get out in the morning, just like Al. And she sits at the top of the stairs when Keith leaves in the morning, just like Al. She sleeps in our bed, just like Al. And she is usually in Alec's room. There are so many things she does that are just like Al.
Cassidy had decided to name her "Maisy", because Al loved his Maisy the Mouse stuffed animal. He said she was his daughter.
I later checked in on Charlotte's facebook page, because her family still posts and I was amazed to see that Charlotte had a dog and her name is "Maize". I could and couldn't believe this. I felt that I was suppose to share this story with Charlotte's family so I sent an e-mail telling them and they were so amazed too.
I just went online to check out the hotel we are staying in in NY, Millenium Hotel, and they have a restaurant called Restaurant Charlotte . Wow, on Al's birthday last year the cat named Charlotte and now on Al's birthday this year the Restaurant Charlotte.
