Eternal ear scratches and belly rubs

We are so sad to have said goodbye to our sweet Tito. 

He was a scaredy-cat whose curiosity often got the best of him. He was the ultimate snuggler and spent every night of his life curled up in the crook of my neck. He lived for ear scratches and tummy rubs, but only from his approved list of "people" which was very short....the rest of the world was lucky if they saw his tail as he ran away out of the room from them. Once he decided you were on his VIP list though....he could be annoying in his pursuit of attention. 

He was always waiting for me to come to bed.

Cutest. Kitten. Ever. 

EJ tried for years to get close enough to touch him and I will always remember the day she did - he was such a good cat that he immediately froze and allowed her to carry him around the house for several minutes. He was the same way about taking medicine and having his nails clipped - would sit quietly and allow it, all while giving us the stink eye. And yet, without fail, he would always coming running to us with the simple click of our tongue. 

Most tolerant cat ever

Our last picture of Tito. He loved sunbathing.

We loved him from the moment we saw him in that cage at the Humane Society (seriously the world's cutest kitten) through 15 wonderful years of cuddles. We miss him every day. But I am hopeful he is happy up in kitty-cat heaven, reunited with his brother Jermaine, and enjoying eternal ear scratches and belly rubs. 

Rest in peace, sweet boys
