Introducing........Tuffy!



I have been spending a few weeks looking at kittens/cats on different shelter websites. We wanted to give Tiger a new companion, and John a kitty that enjoys/tolerates his attention. Tiger is very shy and only comes out when John is in bed or not at home. He's a very loving cat, just shy. Yesterday, John and I went to Petsmart and he fell in love with a little male apricot and white kitten named Neil. I wanted to get Neil's little girlfriend, a cute little calico. But, for some reason, this little kitten stole his heart and would let him pet him. So, we adopted him. The paperwork says he's 3 months old, but he sure seems younger. Its been a long time since I had a kitten, I found Jaws in 1992. John has decided that Neil should be named Tuffy, in honor of one of his Thomas engines (Duncan) who he has always called Tuffy. Here are our first photos of Tuffy. He looks a little ragged because he was surrended to the SPCA on September 3, neutered on September 4th, moved to the Petsmart location on September 5. We adopted him on the fifth. That's a lot of stress on a little kitty. He's coming out of his shell a little now, and seems happy with us.
