What goes around comes around. We had a tragedy this morning. Trevor called me during 2nd period (just now) to tell me he had some very bad news. He was leaving to go to my Mom's to drop the baby off, and he saw a little gray kitty on the side of the road. He had to look. And yes--it was our little Titus.
He'd been hit by a car. Just like that, he's gone.
You may remember my entry about Titus last year. He's the world's most annoying cat. He meows all the time, in the middle of the night. He won't leave Tarzan alone and the two of them fight all the time--loud yowling fights in the middle of the night sometimes. He's not very smart--impossible to train. Sometimes I joked that I wouldn't care if he got hit by a car.
But then he started to grow on me. He stopped meowing so much. He and Tarzan were doing a little better, sometimes laying on the same bed at the same time. And best of all--he loves my baby. He will let her grab him and pet him and wrestle him. He doesn't leave when she comes near like Tarzan does--he goes right up to her and rubs against her. He never scratches. He's such a nice, good kitty, even if he IS a little dumb. I even did a page about it both my 2009 scrapbook and my Afton's 1st Year scrapbook.
So I started crying in the middle of 2nd period. Trevor picked him up and brought him home, and put him in a box. When I get home today we will bury him in the backyard. Poor Afton. I don't know if she's old enough to notice if he's gone. But he was her little friend.
The only one who will be happy, I think, is Tarzan. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he spends several weeks looking for his old enemy. Maybe he'll be like us, and realize how much we loved him only after he's gone.
Poor Titus. We will miss you, kitty.
But no. We are NOT getting another cat.

it's always tragic when you lose a pet no matter how much they bugged you. I am sorry for Afton. Although I have to say I am glad you aren't getting another one :)
First of all, I have to say, very cute scrapbook page. That will always be a nice little treasure to have. So sorry about your cute kitty, that's hard. Update us on if you think Tarzan notices, that's kind of funny their love/hate relationship.
Sorry for all the cat drama. I feel worse for Trevor than Afton- that's a lot to go through. Poor guy. He's such a compassionate person so I know this was hard on him. I liked Titus a lot better than Tarzan- he is so much NICER even though he wasn't the brightest bulb. Poor kitty!
