Hito
Hito was a neutered male Japanese Bobtail that kept my home buzzing
since I got him as a kitten six years ago. He left no curtain
unclimbed and no heart untouched. He could fly up a cat tree like a
rocket exploding into space. Watching him leap on top of the
refrigerator and china cabinets, one might swear he had wings. He
always made time to relax, though. Hito earned the nickname,
"Heater", because he found heat sources and spent hours basking in
their warmth. He might be sunbathing in a window, sprawled in front
of a heat register, curled in a cat bed on top of the dryer,
stretched out in front of the fireplace, or snuggled on someone's
lap. He knew all the hot spots!

Hito was devoted and courageous. When a spider bit his kitty sister,
he checked on her and then killed the spider with no mercy. Several
times he stayed with someone who was having convulsions. When his
sister dog, Diva, had a leg amputated due to osteosarcoma, he grew
very close to her. Diva would lick Hito until he was sopping wet and
he would rub against Diva long gentle strokes that never knocked her
off balance.
Hito happily greeted his uncle cat when he came to visit and he
welcomed a new kitten with delight when she stumbled into our lives.
He eagerly met every guest at the door. He lived up to his Japanese
name of Hitozuki. He was a living manekineko. It’s almost impossible
to say how wonderful Hito was and how much he is missed.
