Yes, you did respond in a friendly way, but I didn't see or respond to your previous response until I looked for it just a minute or so ago because of your mention of it. Somehow I missed seeing it before. I guess I was too preoccupied with other topics at the time. I'm glad I looked it up, because I enjoyed your comments about your other pugs and pets. Maybe my son and DIL were just unlucky in their choice of pugs. They were certainly needy and demanded lots of attention from not only My son and his family, but any other human who came to visit. They didn't get along all that well with each other, though. The older and larger one, Gracie, bullied the smaller one, Lucy, and always tried to hog her food. When Lucy tried to eat from her own dish, Gracie would immediately push her away and start eating Lucy's food. Lucy would then run to Gracie's dish and try to eat, whereupon Gracie would immediately abandon Lucy's dish and run back to her own dish, and push Lucy away again. When Lucy went back to her own dish again, the same cycle started again. Whatever dish Lucy tried to eat from, Gracie would push her away and try to eat it instead. Lucy would have starved if Gracie were not constrained from stealing her food whenever Lucy tried to eat. I thought it was very weird behavior!
Pugs are kind of neurotic, Gunnar, and they get jealous of what the other one has. Your example of the coveting the food is exactly that. If one of ours went to the groomer and came home with a bandanna, the other one would notice it right away and try to pull it off. If they had the same outfits (they liked to dress up) they were fine. We used to put reindeer antlers on them and if they heard a certain song or if we sang it to them, they would get up on their hind legs and dance around. As they grew into old age, they would cuddle in a bed together, sleep and snore like little motors.
I have very little doubt that the cat misses her buddy. I have read and seen lots of touching stories of what seems to be genuine love and affection between seemingly odd couples of animals of disparate species, including even predator species that adopted and cared for individuals of a species that they normally preyed upon.
Yes, they really do bond with each other and some days I wish, people could learn to be more like them. :- )

Amen to that!
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
Sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet puppy. Thanks for sharing your fond memories.

Oh thank you, lady. As it turns out, our family here (not Jersey Boy and I) lost another pet last night. I sort of went numb but apparently I have thawed out today.
