Kimba came into my life at time that I needed him the most.  I was still dealing with the loss of my baby daughter.  Kimba helped to fill a void that I needed to fill.  He was always a loving cat.  He let me cuddle him and baby him.  He was always there for me.  He greeted me at the door each evening and waited outside my bedroom door each morning.  He was like my shadow.  He would lie by me on the couch and watch television with me while he placed a paw on my husband.  He loved us both as we did him.



Kimba was taken from us yesterday.   He had quit eating and we took him to the vet to have him checked out.  I was hoping it was something minor.    That was not to be the case.  Kimba had a tumor on his kidney and it was discovered that he was born with only one kidney.  There was nothing that could be done to save him.  I am still in shock.  This all happened in a two day span.



I only hope that my baby knew how much I loved and appreciated him.  My life has been altered forever and I will never forget him.  Just like my daughter....he will be in my heart forever.  Thank you Kimba for 9 wonderful years.
