Tom was over 12 years old (we can't actually remember exactly when we got him, and he was from an animal shelter, so can't remember how old he was when we got him either - he was only little though. Those Maine Coons look like interesting cats (and look like a whole lapful too!). Thanks Sam.

How old was Tom? In the new year, I think you should get a couple of <em>very different</em> kittens - tabby moggies, or perhaps <a href="http://www.maine-coon-cat-club.com/gallery/">Maine Coons</a> (which have the advantage of also being stunningly huge cats). It will be a fresh start, and you won't be comparing New Cat with Old Cat too much. Also, as our plans to get a Maine Coon are on hold as we have a dog that chases cats, I strongly believe that someone I know should get one so I can vicariously experience Maine Coon-dom. But, hey, moggie tabbies would be good also. I’m so sorry to hear this. How old was Tom?
