[@jimrebr]

My sweetheart kitty, who died unexpectedly in 2020, was named Fireball, he was funny, the best cat ever, he was my Therapy cat, don’t laugh, he was unique, my former Therapy cat helped raise Fireball. I just knew I needed a Black Thai cat, when our son got a kitten in March 2020, I called him or he called me, on October 23rd, 2020 & I told our son I needed a brother of his cat Tuvok, my son said you better come tomorrow, Zelda …she just had her final litter & there were just two babies left. I was so excited, that I forgot to tell my husband we were getting Tuvaks little brother. My son called the next day, a Saturday morning, and asked when we were coming for the kitten, I told hubby real quick, we had to drive up to Bellingham and get Tuvok’s baby brother. My husband loves Siamese cats very much, I am allergic to most cats, except Siamese, they are the most hypoallergenic, after Devon Rex’s, the bald cats. We got dressed and out the door in minutes, hubby’s first cat was a black cat and we’ve had about 3 BC’s, so I knew hubby would be overjoyed. Thank God I listened to my heart, because Fireball got deathly ill, suddenly on November 21st, we took him the expensive Cat ER, but the doctor said we should euthanize him immediately, because he was in so much pain. Hubby asked the Vet for pain medication and said we should give Fireball a chance to live, even though the ER Vet told us he was dying and in severe pain. The pain medication didn’t do anything and I was up all night long with Fireball and knew he was dying in my arms. He always went under my blankets to cuddle with me, he snuggled me in all his favorite spots, my neck, my stomach, my knees, my feet, then traveled up the other side, he was purring his goodbye so loud & then he went into seizures for about two hours he passed away, but it was tragic. The bright spot was Sisko, our kitten imitated Fireball, Sisko immediately became my new Therapy cat, he went under my blankets and snuggled me exactly how he saw Fireball cuddled me, he helped so much with keeping me calm while Fireball passed away…💔💔💔
