She had so much

Brody was a Russian gray with big green eyes with big dilated pupils. He was muscular and very heavy. He was beautiful. He was passionate and a loud purrer.

No

We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us, but we will always remember this wonderful boy.
Simon came to me from Kitty Connection as a foster in January 2008 (originally named “Homer’), and he never left. He was such a wonderful cat — mellow, very affectionate, beautiful, quirky.
