In response to Catty1's question, yes, he was remarkably soft. His favorite pasttime was being brushed, and when I took too long to do that, my reward was constant slimy hairballs. He has been pretty fluffy since I got him at 3 months old. The lady I got him from had way too many cats to take care of, and when I came to her house to take one off her hands, I instantly fell in love with the runt of one of the not-so-new litters. He was very sick when I first got him, and I almost decided to give him back. However, once I had him I knew that I could never voluntarily part with him.
My Fitzgerald has touched the lives of everyone who has met him. Even people who don't like cats were fond of my baby. He never met a human he didn't like. He was very well trained, and he knew many commands. Not only did he know them but he readily followed them.
I hope that wherever he is he is not alone, and I would like to send my deepest condolences to all who have suffered similar losses. I know that they are much more than pets. They are friends, they are companions, and they leave us much too soon.
