Tito's Cavern

The Fry Family

2012-02-16T22:27:00.003-08:00

Hello everyone,

Tito here with a short video of The Fry Family. Mom recorded them on her cell phone. The quality is not as good as she would like, but you see that The Fry Family is enjoying the attention and swimming about very lively. Some of them are three years old and growing. I gave up trying catch them long ago. I mean, why make the attempt if I cannot eat them.

Tito out!

TITO 2.0 AT REST

2012-02-01T11:34:00.001-08:00

Hi Everybody,

Mom became camera happy and snapped this as I was about to fall asleep. I'm 3 1/2 years old now and living a Tom's life.

Tito out!

New Member of Family!

2012-01-30T12:07:00.001-08:00

Everyone welcome Tomo. She's the newest member of the Fain's family. She is a 6 year-old gray beauty with the fang, claws, disposition of a lioness. She likes to share the same food and potty as I do, which Mom thinks is a good thing. And Tomo is generally friendly as long as I stay a foot away from her. Bummer! Seriously, what's a guy suppose to do!

Tito out!

P.S. Mom did the artwork. She didn't think my idea of giving Tomo a third eye was good idea.

In Celebration of Cats - Christopher Smart's Jubilate Agno

2011-01-25T17:02:00.000-08:00

Tito at Advent 2010

Christopher Smart

Jubilate Agno - "Rejoice in the Lamb"

For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry.

For he is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him.

For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way.

For this is done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness.

For then he leaps up to catch the musk, which is the blessing of God upon his prayer.

For he rolls upon prank to work it in.

For having done duty and received blessing he begins to consider himself.

For this he performs in ten degrees.

For first he looks upon his forepaws to see if they are clean.

For secondly he kicks up behind to clear away there.

For thirdly he works it upon stretch with the forepaws extended.

For fourthly he sharpens his paws by wood.

For fifthly he washes himself.

For sixthly he rolls upon wash.

For seventhly he fleas himself, that he may not be interrupted upon the beat.

For eighthly he rubs himself against a post.

For ninthly he looks up for his instructions.

For tenthly he goes in quest of food.

For having consider'd God and himself he will consider his neighbour.

For if he meets another cat he will kiss her in kindness.

For when he takes his prey he plays with it to give it a chance.

For one mouse in seven escapes by his dallying.

For when his day's work is done his business more properly begins.

For he keeps the Lord's watch in the night against the adversary.

For he counteracts the powers of darkness by his electrical skin and glaring eyes.

For he counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life.

For in his morning orisons he loves the sun and the sun loves him.

For he is of the tribe of Tiger.

For the Cherub Cat is a term of the Angel Tiger.

For he has the subtlety and hissing of a serpent, which in goodness he suppresses.

For he will not do destruction, if he is well-fed, neither will he spit without provocation.

For he purrs in thankfulness, when God tells him he's a good Cat.

For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.

For every house is incomplete without him and a blessing is lacking in the spirit.

For the Lord commanded Moses concerning the cats at the departure of the Children of Israel from Egypt.

For every family had one cat at least in the bag.

For the English Cats are the best in Europe.

For he is the cleanest in the use of his forepaws of any quadruped.

For the dexterity of his defence is an instance of the love of God to him exceedingly.

For he is the quickest to his mark of any creature.

For he is tenacious of his point.

For he is a mixture of gravity and waggery.

For he knows that God is his Saviour.

For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest.

For there is nothing brisker than his life when in motion.

For he is of the Lord's poor and so indeed is he called by benevolence perpetually--Poor Jeoffry! poor Jeoffry! the rat has bit thy throat.

For I bless the name of the Lord Jesus that Jeoffry is better.

For the divine spirit comes about his body to sustain it in complete cat.

For his tongue is exceeding pure so that it has in purity what it wants in music.

For he is docile and can learn certain things.

For he can set up with gravity which is patience upon approbation.

For he can fetch and carry, which is patience in employment.

For he can jump over a stick which is patience upon proof positive.

For he can spraggle upon waggle at the word of command.

For he can jump from an eminence into his master's bosom.

For he can catch the cork and toss it again.

For he is hated by the hypocrite and miser.

For the former is afraid of detection.

For the latter refuses the charge.

For he camels his back to bear the first notion of business.

For he is good to think on, if a man would express himself neatly.

For he made a great figure in Egypt for his signal services.

For he killed the Ichneumon-rat very pernicious by land.

For his ears are so acute that they sting again.

For from this proceeds the passing quickness of his attention.

For by stroking of him I have found out electricity.

For I perceived God's light about him both wax and fire.

For the Electrical fire is the spiritual substance, which God sends from heaven to sustain the bodies both of man and beast.

For God has blessed him in the variety of his movements.

For, tho he cannot fly, he is an excellent clamberer.

For his motions upon the face of the earth are more than any other quadruped.

For he can tread to all the measures upon the music.

For he can swim for life.

For he can creep.

Hello Everyone,

Tito here with a little pic of a couple bathing beauties, who from me little black-book are the cat's meowww.

I would've add the girls’ names, but they were sleeping so soundly that, well you know, after taking a quick aerial shot from over the fence, I didn't dare awaken them.

Until next time,

Tito out

PETS WE'VE LOVED OVER THE DECADES

2010-08-07T14:49:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,

Tito here. I really should say, Tito the Second as mentioned in the first post, I am named after the first beloved Tito that died at the ago of 13. Can you tell us apart.

Like me he was a handsome cat. You can see why Mommy fell in love with me the first time she saw me. Well, enough or me, Mommy and me wanted to show you some of the others family's member who were loved over the decades. Enjoy!

One of these guys above is me.

Morris (Left)

Tigger (Right)t

Dracula Jr. and Big Red

Dogs City, Great Danes and Siberian Huskies

Tito the First may have like these creatures, but I don't see the attraction. Give me a female feline any day, and I'll be happy. Old the handsome tabby among those dogs was Tigger the Cat, and the Rabbit, lunch, ah no ...I mean Pinky.

The dogs are: Great Dane: Lady Kees, and Stanlee, not relation to Stanley. Siberian Huskies: Silverbolt, Storm, Takota, and Nakoka, .

Til next time, Meow Five!

Tito: One Year and All Grown Up!

2009-08-23T09:03:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,

Tito here,

I know, I know, I know it has been a long while since I last wrote, but mom has been up to her neck in one project after other. If I wasn't around to remind her that there more joy in playing with me, than rushing about doing her pesky routines, than I would be afraid that I would have to paw her to attention.

Anyway I am all grown up now and have turning into a fine looking man cat with long and glossy fur. Purr, purr, purr. Feel the love, Cheri.

The photo above is the result of one of mom's aerial strike. I thought making it difficult for her to take a shot would be a little fun. So I just kept running around the room, but not too fast. Wouldn't do to have her think that I was totally disinterested. After all, the subject was me. This photo isn't bad. It shows some of my huggable cuteness.

Well, I've got to go. It's grooming time, and any self-respecting cat can tell you that to primp successful, a cat must preen long and thoroughly.

Until next time Cheri,

Tito out.

Oh, oh, I all most forgot. I found this little list of rules for insuring that your moms and dads love as well as my move loves me. Mom doesn't know who wrote it, but we thought it would be fun to share.

Hello Cat Lovers,

Tito Here,

I just drop in to show you how handsome I'm becoming. I'll be eight months old next week, and from this photo mommy created the background below just for the occasion. Enjoy.

Well, until next time.

Love,

Tito

A Temporary Farewell

2009-01-18T07:13:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

Mommy must now temporarily stop posting until her semester ends at USF. If you did not know it she is a creative write major and her classes are occupying much of her time with a great deal of reading and writing.

See you in the spring.

The 2008 Urlies Award Winner

2008-12-16T18:58:00.000-08:00

Hello To All You Cat Lover,

Mommy and I were surfing the web when we ran across this story about a big brother of mine. His name is Christian. He and his previous caregivers just won the 2008 Urlies Award, and boy did they ever deserved it. Just watch the love being lascivious all over the African plain. Oh yeah, I turned 5-months old this week.

Christian the Lion

Until next time,

Where's the Grace?!

2008-11-27T15:42:00.000-08:00

Hi Everybody,

Mommy keeps telling me that I am getting too big for this pot, but I don't see the problem.

Below is a view of one of my more distant, distant cousins. Really, where the grace.

Oh, well. What's a family without it's clowns.

Until next time,

Tito

Hi Everybody,

My name is Tito 2, but mommy calls me Tito. Mommy once had another cat named Tito. She tells me that we looked alike, but he went to kitty heaven a couple years ago. He was thirteen years old when he died and mommy was heartbroken. Mommy adopted me from our local animal shelter because she has a big, big heart. If she could effort to adopt all the homeless pets in the world, she would do it. But mommy is smart, and she knows that she cannot adopt them all so what love she cannot give to them, she gives to me.

I am guessing that this is okay. I am happy. I was such a little thing when mommy first brought me home, but now I am 4 months old and mommy swears that I am so big that I must be some other kitten, but it really is me. Mommy feeds me all my favorites’ foods.

When Mommy is home, she plays with me and brushes my coat. I have toys all over the house, but sometimes I like playing among the houseplants and sleeping in the bigger planters. This drives mommy up the wall, and she will chases me around the room. It is all in fun, and she knows that I know it.

Well, it is time for me to go. It is time to play the hand in the sock game. I like this game because no matter how often I pounce on it always comes back for more.

Until next time,

Tito

Oh, the creature on the right is mommy. She is fur less, but I love her just the same.
