My cat, Cat, was a lap cat -- and was so attached to me I almost changed his name to tattoo. He purred all the time -- and purred so loudly, you could hear him from quite a distance.
He was a very large, muscular, handsome cat -- tough as nails but great with people. Not a shy cat at all. I love dogs (not as much as cats, but...) but Cat did not like dogs at all -- and on the few occasions where a stray dog got into our yard, he would attack like a tiger. I never saw a dog stand up to him -- and one of the dogs was a huge husky from two houses down.
Cat died two years ago -- and I still think of him and mist up because I miss him so much.
Thanks for the excuse to talk about him.

I always think it's so UNFAIR that critters don't live as long as humans!!!!!
I, too, have many, many fond memories of precious cats which are long gone. Pussa is one that comes to mind. (Actually he sounds very much like your Cat!) ... And Billy Baxter, a wonderful gentle cat that I was VERY attached to ... <sigh>
I figure their spirits are still hovering around, always
... Afterall we had such strong attachments to them & they were so important to us. So it's nice to be able to talk about them, yes?
They can obviously pick this up & react accordingly ... Grrr, choke, spit ...!!)
