Been thinking about this quite a lot recently. It is two years since Wednesday left us and I still tear up thinking about it. We have 4 beautiful furry monsters with us now and, as you say, they will never replace her, they add to our life. One thing that has struck me though is that when the little furbags are with you for so long, their personalities are embedded into your life like Mr Snrub has described. However I think I need to remember not to compare our new friends with old ones as they have not yet had that lengthy opportunity (23 years!) to train us into their personality traits.
Our 4 have made a great start in doing that though, Thor is a teddy bear who demands cuddles, Freya is a mischievous little girl who chats back at you if you tell her off, Fester is a sweet, shy boy who gives headbutts to tell you he is hungry and Gomez is a tiny little boy who shouts a lot and loves belly rubs. They are all beautiful kitties and I am grateful they are in my life.
Glad to hear your little gang is doing so well. It really is true that every cat has their own unique personality. Looking at it from another level I know it's unfair to compare a cat to its predecessor since each has its own idea of how to show affection, and it is only performing actions that it has learned will achieve the desired result. They couldn't understand that a cat who used to live there would have acted differently. So my old cat would have learned to just take whatever food he wanted, whereas new cat was presumably scolded for doing such things as a kitten so will wait her turnOur 4 have made a great start in doing that though, Thor is a teddy bear who demands cuddles, Freya is a mischievous little girl who chats back at you if you tell her off, Fester is a sweet, shy boy who gives headbutts to tell you he is hungry and Gomez is a tiny little boy who shouts a lot and loves belly rubs.

It's been nearly a week since Dexter first went outside and every single day he's having VERY loud altercations with the neighbours unneutered cat.
I imagine the neighbours are getting royally cheesed off with the din. It seems to be verbals only ever time rather than physical stuff, which is good, but at what point does the hope of them learning to steer clear of each other/leave each other alone fade completely? I guess a week isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, but I'm on edge permanently when he's out.
I can't even tell who's starting on who as its happening in other people's gardens - I guess it's essentially a turf war!

Gorgeous, especially the silver one.

Some damn fine kitties in this thread
here are my coons, they are 2 in august, so a couple more years of growing yet
General Custard the third, he loves to sit on my shoulders as i walk about, the downside is hes quite large and heavy
well he would look large if it was not for his brother "big paws"
hes not really much of a lap cat, on the grounds that our laps are not big enough lol
invetigating, it takes a while to get around corners
