Tobi Wobi (May 4, 2002 - December 24, 2011) - blog created on December 24, 2011

Tobi wasn't my cat.  He was my friend's cat.  But I loved him like my own.  We visited a friend's house with no intent to bring home any pet.  I was listening to my friend talk with her classmate when there was this cat who kept purring and rubbing himself against our arms and legs.  Needless to say, we  caught our breaths and were enthralled by his cuteness. We brought him home with us. That was September 4, 2002 and he was only 4 months old.
He was loved, he was cared for and he was spoiled!  He was a cat's cat and a dog's cat.  He ruled the house.  The first few days, he learned just how to poo in his very own litter box made out of a discarded cardboard box with crumpled newspapers.  Smart kitty!
I loved the way he would sit right plop right smack in the middle of a paper I was writing or a book I was reading.  It didn't matter to him.  He knew full well we would never respond in an angry manner or push him away.  My friend and I kind of joked about pushing him away or whining that we didn't want him doing it.  But deep down, we loved how he sat right down and looked up with his big google eyes and our hearts would simply melt.
He's gone yet I still think about him a lot. I think about the time he used to sit right in the middle of the street and meow like we were never coming back.  It always broke my heart to hear him cry like that and I'd run back to him, scoop him up, hug him and kiss his little nose.  He loved it when I did that judging by his loud purrs.
I thought back too to the time he got lost and my friend and I searched for him for days.  We printed out posters and offered a small reward to anyone who would help us and return him.  He came back home after a week.  He never left after that.  I guess he had his day filled with adventure but it wasn't the type he wanted ever to have again.
I just miss him so bad :(
