Meezer Man Cat Monday

This is our cousin Toby who lives with Mom's brother and family in the Richmond, VA area. He used to be Grandpa's kitty, but Grandpa died ten years ago. Then he was Grandma's kitty, but he went to live with Mom's brother when Grandma went into assisted living. He would have come to live with us, but Dad knew we wouldn't get along.

So, Toby moved to a household of cats--plus one dog. Early on Toby fought with one of the kitties there who ended up biting his ear and inflicting a permanent battle scar. Toby turned 13 last month.

Why are we featuring Toby? Well, it turns out that Mom went to visit him--and her sister as well. We thought that Mom would return on Friday, but we heard secondhand--through our nice catsitter Kathy--that Mom decided to extend her trip and visit her brother and sister. She didn't even consult us!

Plus, NOW she thinks we broke the computer. It's grinding and grinding when she logs on, so she thinks it may have some kind of virus or something. It's NOT our fault!

We're glad she's home, but we don't like the way she seemed to forget about us and visited other cats.

Meezer Monday-Toby as a Kitten

Bathsheba said that I hogged the blog last week, so instead of a beautiful Man Cat Monday photo of me, this week I present our meezer cousin Toby as a kitten. Mom found this photo when she was looking for my baby pictures. Toby is six months younger than I. He was originally Grandpa's cat, but now lives with Mom's brother and his family in the Richmond area.

Here is a picture of Toby from last fall. He was hiding in the closet when Mom took this photo. I'm not convinced that it's the same cat!
