We got Simba and his twin Sister Sonata in 10/2012. Simba was a beautiful cat although just a domestic mixed breed he had Main Coon in him making him a bigger cat. He was full of love and spice however he was afraid of strangers. You knew you were accepted as a member of the family when you were around enough that he made his presence known or didn't run under the bed when you came over. He loved his sister dearly and she has been a blessing to have around still, and he tolerated his newer younger brother Marley.

Simba loved to hang out on the patio with us in the sun and would stay with us and rarely run off.

In late Sept he stopped eating and drinking. After taking him to the vet and them sending us to the Emergency vet they found a tumor in his lung that was hidden by 300cc of fluid. We were forced to make the difficult decision to let him be at peace. Simba hid his illness from us to the very end as just a week prior he was playing with Susan's iPad and acting normal.

This was very difficult for us to lose Simba so suddenly. We were not ready, but we were so blessed to have him in our lives and will always remember him with love and fondness. Susan still reaches out for him at night or looks for him hiding under the covers of a made bed.

We love and miss you Simba always and forever.
