Thank you for putting into words much of what I feel about cats. Yes, they have souls in every meaningful sense of that word, and I can't imagine how hard it'll be when we eventually outlive our cat.

For the record I'd also joyfully murder anyone who hurt our cat.

Wonderful read. Cat person here too, grew up in the country. One time we had 6 cats and 2 of them had litters of 6 each. Insanity, and I loved it. In my adult life I've had 3. Alex, total badass, lived to 18. My vet made the house call when it was time. Gabby got to 19, and passed in the night sparing me the awful decision. An act of love and grace. Marmalade Gazpacho was found in my garden after I swore no more. That was 10 years ago. Like one of yours, if she's near you she is purring.
