This is Lucifer during his photoshoot when he was cleared of FIP. for people unaware, FIP is an awful, often fatal disease that usually affects kittens. Luckily there is now an FDA approved method for treatment, but unfortunately we had to do an underground black market treatment which involved daily injections for 90 days. We started treatment when he was about 4 months old.

Unfortunately he must have used up most of his 9 lives during that, because we had to say goodbye last night after complications of leukemia getting into his bone marrow. He was 2 1/2 years old. Give your kittens an extra snuggle today for Lucifer

Hail Lucifer, may love carry you down the River Styx to the lands of the stars.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Lucifer appreciated that you gave him the time he had. Hopefully you have others that also bring light into your life.

Maybe not the way Sabbath intended the lyrics, but it still holds given the situation. It sucks to lose them so soon.
