After just over 17 years, Bobito has passed away.
He was my brothers cat, born 18 Sep 2008 to a stray cat that was hanging around our house at the time. We adopted her, Amber (she died around 2021), she started hanging around the house some time in August of 2008 (I think I made a post on this blog about her); she had a litter of kittens not long after she started hanging around.
Bobito was the runt of the litter, a wee little tiny kitty. He kept getting up to mischief in the shed where Amber lived with her kittens. My brother saved him a few times when he got stuck in various places.
When they were a few weeks old, we gave away most of the kittens, but my bro couldn't bear to part with Bobito. So we kept him and he became his familiar. Amber also became a family cat.
We moved, they came with us. I got married and moved out, the two cats stayed with him.
And now after nearly two decades, Bobito has closed his eyes for the last time.
Rest young man, you will be missed.
My bro will be heartbroken, no more furry warmth by his side. No more eager eyes watching him get home from work. No more angry meows demanding food.
