Starting tomorrow, we will have a teen-ager living in the Flaming Bore household. Little Bit turns 13. I'm not sure what that calculates into human years, but it's probably leading him into old age. El Bitzo, as Big Bore sometimes calls him, is one cool cat. He has a wise, benevolent face that always seems to be examining my own. More than once I've told him that I wished he could talk because I think we'd have very interesting conversations.Bitsy is a licker, which sometimes gets rather annoying, especially when it's 4 AM. He is not discriminatory, licking noses, armpits, toes, whatever is sticking out from under the covers. Bits is also enamored with Big Bore's Sponge Bob Square Pants doll. Meowing loudly, he drags it around the house and then gives it what we call a "kitty massage." Sponge Bob seems to enjoy it immensely, based upon the smile on his face afterwards.
Best of all, Little Bit is loyal. If we aren't feeling well, he is right there at our sides to be the ever-faithful companion and medical adviser. So, when we give him his special can of tuna tomorrow and sing "Happy Birthday" to him, it will be with all sincerity when we add "....and many more."

Happy Birthday Bits! How cute is he. What a wonderful thing it is to have a pet. They touch our lives so much. If you don't have a pet, you can't understand. We too have a licker. His name is Noble. He is a grey tabby. He will lick my nose at night with that hard tounge. Ouch.
