Titan

       Titan, to put it quite frankly was the best cat in the world. My mom decided that we should get a cat, not just any cat but an orange tabby cat. Mrs. Dukes, one of my mom's friends, cat had a litter of kittens. She told my mom that we could have any one that we wanted. When the kittens were old enough to be seperated from their mom we went over and played with them.  I believe my mom said that we were just looking and that we would not be taking any of them home. One thing to know about my mom is that she is very tender hearted when it comes to animals. 
      There were a few male tabbies in the group. One of them happened to be Titan. I remember thinking he was the most intelligent out of the group because he would mirror me. He responded well to Bridget, Mom, and I so we decided that he would be the newest addition to the family. We went to the pet store and got supplies for him. The following day we took him home. When Bridget and I would go climb trees he'd wait for us at the bottom. 

        He would walk with us to our friends house and if we did not want to play with him he'd wait on their yard until we were done playing and then walk with us back. Titan would go for walks with us to the Burkes house which was a few blocks away. The Burkes loved Titan and he inspired them to get a cat of their own. 

     The cat instinctually knew when you were not feeling well and would stand guard purring until you were okay. I got sick for a week and Titan never left my side. He did the same thing for every member of our family. In the brief spance of his life he taught me a lot about loyalty and love. 

"A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? " John Grogan
