Default The Different Halloween

This Halloween will be different, because when the bell rings, Dante will
run away and hide, and Stinky isn't here to greet the trick-or-treaters.
Stinky always went to the door when the bell rang. On Halloween, when the
bell rang more than once, after a couple of times, he would just take up a
station by the door, so he wouldn't have to run out from wherever he was,
and so he wouldn't miss anyone! He greeted all the kids. Just the kind of
cat he was.


He was such a great social ambassador. Did any of the kids ask where he
was?

It will be hard to go through all the different times of the year that
you shared with him, and where you have memories of being with him. The
first year without him is the worst, then it gets a little better.

I also wonder if Dante behaved any differently this year. I've had a lot
of multi-cat households, and have noticed that cats seem to get into
different roles. Then when one is gone, this shifts the roles and
behaviors, and suddenly another cat is filling the RB cat's shoes (so
to speak). Or *something* changes. Just curious.
