He was my first kitty cat. We got him 14 years ago. Unfortunately he died of kidney failure when he was about 5 years old.
As a kitten he got into a lot of trouble. He ruined our curtains and mom's wicker hamper. He also liked to go after our parakeets. He also broke a standing bedroom mirror. He had thought another cat was behind it and when he went to look behind it feel. I was more scared that the pieces had cut him. He was always into something.
He loved to eat fish especially shrimp. He always went crazy on Christmas Eve when we had 7 kinds of fish for dinner. He also liked sweets and Zambuca liqueur.
He was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. He was even there to let me cry on him. We spent many lazy weekends cuddling up on the couch to watch tv and sleep.
He loved to steal candy canes from the christmas tree. He also loved hiding inside the tree when company was over. He also loved to play with my baton with the strings hanging off the ends as in the picture above.
He was a very playful cat until he got sick. We had to give him fluids intraviniously at home. We became his mommy and nurse. Near the end of his life is when we took in Gus Gus our next cat. We knew that losing Mittens would hurt less if we had another kitten to care for and to keep us busy.
Here he is as a Baby(I am holding him).
Here he is bitting Mom's toes.
Here he is hiding in the Christmas Tree.
Here is Nana Holding him right around when he was sick.
This is where he layed when he was at his worst.
