Another portrait of my cat Quito. He is named after the capital of Ecuador (phonetically: “Key-Toe”) and is almost three years old. This photograph was taken at our first home together in Roanoke, Virginia, where I adopted him from a shelter when he was around 8 months old.

He is having surgery this week. Please think positive thoughts that he won’t suffer much and will come out of it into a normal life again.
