The Man of the House

For all you cat lovers:



Toffee! He showed up on my parents deck one fall with his frost-shortened tail and ears, and very few teeth. So we fed him and loved him :)

He was a friendly cat, but lacking in manners. He ate a quarter of a chocolate cake on the counter on day. He even ate the bristles off a pastry brush that had been used to spread barbecue sauce on meat. We had to learn to keep the counters clear of anything remotely edible.

Today he shares an apartment with me, my sister, and two friends. His manners have improved greatly and he adds some character to our humble abode.
