Gizmo, you remind me of my twin sister's first kitty, an Orange cat named Heidi, who was a boy actually! His fur length was just about as long as yours is, that is what triggered my memory of Heidi. My first kitty was Nappy, who was Heidi's brother and had the same shorter kind of hair like your brother Fireball! I really enjoyed reading about your bio tonight, brought back some good memories, since I am now 41 years old, and we got our first kitties around age 8 I believe. Have a blessed Christmas!
