This was taken in the spring of 2007. I didn't realize Poppy Cat was on this photo until I began organizing some of my older albums. It brought tears to my eyes. Even though he was a 'good for nothing, old Tom cat' (this is said with tongue-in-cheek)...we loved him and miss him very much.
Fitz is a Tonkinese. The breed came into being around 1965...by cross-breeding Siamese with Burmese. He is a rather large and extremely lovable cat who 'talks' constantly! We adopted him through the Humane Society.
