Stitch was my buddy. He would curl up by my side when I was on the laptop in the living room and just purr since he was happy just to be by another living being. He let me brush him, didn't make messes and always used the litter box, which is a lot more than I can say about Simba and Ming, since Simba seems to dislike litter boxes and Ming isn't happy unless he is creating a mess. Every day. Simba and Ming aren't any less loved, they just like to make their presence known, like Storm who is more noisy than anything (he wants outside alot).

Stitch really liked being outside, too, so it was lucky the kitties had been kept inside for days due to Hurricane Sandy smashing into a nor'easter creating high winds and daily rain in NE Ohio. The reason it was lucky is that Stitch passed away on the kitchen floor inside instead of out in the wooded area in the back. This way we knew he had passed and could take care of him instead of realizing he simply disappeared.

This picture was taken just days ago when he got on the bed and made himself at home. He loved sleeping on a bed, especially if someone laid down with him for a nap. He was only 13-years and had belonged to our son, Christopher, so Stitch was our last vestige to Christopher, who passed-on 11 1/2 years ago. In August of 1999, when Stitch was just a kitten weighing ounces, he was being abused by the boyfriend of a friend of Chris'. He snapped Stitch up and brought him home, which wasn't the first time Christopher had saved an animal from a situation that may have resulted in early death for the animal.

My heart is just broken. Stitch didn't appear sick in any way, didn't lose his appetite nor was he fussy. He simply walked into the kitchen and dropped over. He had some blood coming from his mouth, so we think he had a stroke, which would be a reason he passed away quickly. Bless his heart He will truly be missed.
