I lost Harold to Cardiomyopathy and heart failure almost 2 months ago, and my heart still aches every day for him. When he was diagnosed with HCM, I was told I'd be lucky to have him for 3 more months. That's the thing about cats - they hide their illnesses so well, that by the time they're diagnosed, sometimes its too late to do anything about it - though, believe me, I tried everything. By the end, he was taking 3 different heart medications, 3 times a day. It was getting hard to come up with creative ways to trick him into taking his pills...
Harold was an absolute angel. What a personality, and not afraid of anyone. He was always the first one to the door to greet anybody that showed up and then he demanded that they pick him up! He loved to play hide and seek. I would hide, and he would search for me and when he got close, I would jump out and yell "AARRGHHH!!" and he'd take off in the other room, only to come searching for me again a minute later. He loved to play with furry mice, and was always curled up in his little cave under the blanket.
He was my child, my alarm clock, my little snuggle monster, my best friend. He is the sphynx by which all my future sphynx's will be judged and he will always have my heart.
