We're letting mama flashback to the early 1980's today. Fireball was a young feral boy that kept showing up on mama's patio looking for food....of course there was always food there for him. Within a couple of weeks, mama had tamed him and he moved into the house.
He was definitely a "fireball" with scads of energy. He loved water and also loved to be in high places. He would almost always jump up on the shower stall door when someone was taking a shower....and would quite often join them in the shower!!!!! He spent a lot of time riding around on the family's shoulders. He might have been a total fireball, but mama says he was also a very loving cat.
Once again, please forgive the poor quality of the photos, but they have been around a looooooooooooooooooong time....:)

What a sweetie---he looks like he was a wonderful friend. We like the photo of him up in the rafters, it's like he's smiling up there.
Fireball looked such a character - we loved how he would get in the shower! You must still miss him lots and lots.
