Bailey was a birthday present
from my sister; he was very Oriental-looking, with a long, lean body
and some tiger stripes on his hind legs but basically, just a
mixed breed and the sweetest disposition than any cat I've ever
encountered. He was gray with white, very glossy, and loved to be
held, took baths in the tub and slept on my neck, a real
"fur collar." He was diagnosed with a
cancerous tumor on his liver 4 months shy of his 5th birthday; he
passed just 6 weeks after he was diagnosed & began treatment.
Its been over 2 years since his death but I still miss him every
day.
