If you’re one of the Mitty lovers who reads the daily posts on the Mittens site, Facebook or various other social media outlets, you probably know we recently announced that sweet Phil has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Mittens’ love-hate relationship with his “filthy hound” brother has been the subject of many text conversations over the years, mostly detailing Mitty’s frustration with all things dog. But we know the truth — Mittens secretly loves Phil, even though he claims all Mittens-Phil snuggles are “purely accidental.”

Because Texts from Mittens originated here on Catster.com, it feels appropriate to honor him here. Over the past several days, we’ve grieved and shed tears together (see tribute here), but now it’s time to look back at some of the best Phil and Mitty moments (some from Catster and some from the Mittens site) and enjoy a few giggles. Please join us in celebrating the life of our favorite “filthy hound.”
Phil’s 13th birthday party came with a brand new tennis ball and stack of pancakes!
Always looking snappy.
Farewell, Phil — you were a true “good boy.”
