My Bugs the Cat was as orange as could be. Not a white hair on him. He was also Manx and the most beautiful cat I ever saw. Crazy smart. The mutations mentioned make me wonder about susceptibility
to cancer.
I lost him a year ago. He was only 5.
I taught him to enjoy riding in the car and he and I ran from the Almeda fire together with nothing but that car. He was very independent and the experience was too hard on him.

So many places refused us a bed because I had a cat. I would have never survived the horrible places we had to endure without him!
The hardest thing I ever survived was watching him die. He would cling to my arm. He comforted me when I cried.

I lost everything. My home, my family, friends, my income and future. But the greatest loss I ever survived was Bugs.
I never imagined a pet could come to mean so much.

Wow. I’m so sorry. Glad you had Bugs to get you through.

Those of us with beloved pets understand what you are saying.

I’m sorry for your loss. Sniff
