Although our cat Rhity had never visited the
Chatham
light house, in 2007 he posed for a photo, used in this painting. Little did I know he would leave us in a year's time. Gail adopted him from Grandma Gloria. He enjoyed eating mice and
chipmunks
. Legend has it that in his prime, he killed "Shadow", a neighbor’s cat in Euclid, Ohio. He lived out his elder years in Twin Lakes, lounging on the deck sporting a harness on a tether.
Rhity
passed away on June 23 at 12:30 PM. He was 22 years old. His human family and friends will all miss him.
Some comments: "
Rhity
must certainly have been one of the best loved cats in the world. I will miss him terribly." (Missy), "
Rhity
was lucky to have had you all as his family. He was a sweet
lover boy
. " (Dianna), "We'll all certainly miss our old friend. I'm glad that he lived out his many years in a loving home." (Dr. Bob, Hudson Vet), "We all loved him like he was one of our own. We were lucky to have known him." (Lori) "He had a good attitude." Jamie
