We have four cats. Hazy "MawMaw", Fozzie, Toot, and Buzz. We acquired Hazy from the Jackson's when they moved from next door. She is not the nicest cat in the world to other cats...and she treats her children horribly. She usually arrives home later in the evening to come in and eat a bite and enjoy the luxuries of our home until bedtime. We think she probably had kittens so young that it actually stunted her growth. She is a little bitty thing compared to her children...Fozzie and Toot.
Fozzie, Toot, and their sister, a fuzzy calico, were all born in the culvert in our driveway. Rain was in the forecast and I convinced David to try to rescue the kittens before they drowned. With a broom in his hands, he wrapped a towel around the handle of it and somehow got all three out just before the floods came. Sadly, the sister died a few weeks later.
Fozzie is a big, fuzzy, fat, handsome cat. Toot is the runt of the litter. Now Buzz, he is a whole new story. He was a stray that came to David's parents. David fell in love with him because he looked so much like our cat Izzie that was hit by a car. I think we actually got him the day after she was hit. Buzz and David immediately bonded.
Despite Fozzie's size, he is scared of his own shadow. You shake a plastic bag around Fozz and the look on his face and just seeing a big ole cat scramble like that will make you laugh until you cry. He loves to be petted but by adults ONLY! He never sticks around when Chloe Jo is around. Toot, though terrified during storms, fights all the stray cats who come in his territory. He is overbearing in the petting category and he is ALWAYS trying to run in the house. (just to get David all fired up) Buzz is a lover. He loves Fozzie and Toot. He loves to play. He loves to sleep. He loves to chase squirrels. He loves to eat birds. He LOVES to chase Hazy. He loves to get on my nerves.
These cats are Chloe Jo's playmates. She loves each one of them so I try to deal with it. She just can't seem to let them be, though. So, there is always cat drama.
What does Toot do on a hot summer day? ![]()
