Always Remembered.

The coolest cat you'd ever meet.

This is Brady. He's a Canadian Sphynx, or if you prefer, a hairless kitty cat. My parents bought him for me after my puppy died in 2009, and although I wasn't much of a cat person at the time, I've always wanted a hairless cat.

He slept with me every chance he got, jumped on me and licked my face when I came home from anywhere... this cat HATED being alone.

And this was about a week before I woke up one day and suddenly had to put him down. I thought it was cute at the time that he was sleeping with his mouth open, but little did I know he was doing so because it was getting harder and harder to breath. When i did find him, his body was killing his own red blood cells and was super jaundice. He was shaking and whining, and i barely heard him breath on our way to the vet. Apparently he had a sort of hyper-anemia, and by the time we found out, it was too late. He was dying in my arms, and his lungs would eventually give out and he'd suffocate. I felt like I had to kill my baby boy that day. But I know he'd want out of that misery. The blood transfusions he'd need throughout his life would be too hard to keep up with due to the fact that we are expecting a baby boy any day now.

His favorite place was on my chest, so he could put his nose on my shirt or neck. I assume my scent was comforting. When they put him down, his nose was right on my hand, so he could die with his momma. Rest in peace baby boy. He turned me into a full on feline lover. He was my best friend.
