Big Weekend Commentathon and Gotcha Day Celebration III

Welcome to the last day of our Grand Triple Header Commentathon & Got-Cha Celebration!

******

Timmy is up today a bit ahead of his Gotcha date of October 15th. We asked Dad to comment about our Top Cat and boss. How about it Dad

Thanks Toby. I guess we should start off way back in Aught Seven. Heh, heh I really like any time I can get an Aught in but I digress
I was living with my pal Inky as this was after the separation from the old ball and chain so he was my only cat. I had thought about getting him a playmate but worried as he was not very social cat and was an elder of twenty one wonderful years spend together. I was not sure what to do.
The end of September of Aught Seven, Ha, my neighbor told me about some kittens she was fostering. We had discussed rescue, foster and TNR on other occasions ever since she saw Inky in his carrier the year before so I knew she was very involved with helping cats. She said there were two little ones she was caring for and they would be a good match for my Inky. I declined with the excuses "Oh he is too old to adjust" and "What if he does not like him." 

Too old at 21, really! I was spry as any 18 year old.
I am so going to drop Angel Poop on
your head Dad

She kept at me with a very soft sell. As I think back it was kind of odd she just happened to be in her front yard right when I got home from work. 
After a week of coaxing I finally went in to look at the little marmalade tabby boys. They ran under the couch and under the chair as soon as we made  our entrance. She told me that they were from a feral mother who was living in an alley in a nest dug under some trash bags. She dragged one out and he hissed like crazy and ran back under the couch. I thanked her and said no thank you, they are a bit wild and went home.
The next few times we met I asked how they were doing and then came the big day. When I got home she ran in the house and when she came out said: "This is Potter. His brother was adopted last night and I hope you can take him as I need to start school out west in two weeks. If it doesn't work out I will take him back. I promise." Well this was something new. An offer to take him back if things with Inky did not work out. I looked at Potter and he looked at me and I thought I saw a little glint in his eyes. I gave in, she carried him inside and I filled out the forms she has in her back pocket. She laughed and said she was not taking no for an answer. We talked about Potter and she said she loved the Harry Potter movies which is where his name came from. We hugged and she left me and Potter sitting on the couch looking at each other. He started exploring and met Inky. They sniffed each other and... went their own ways with Potter exploring and Inky heading for a nap.

Busy Man-Cat checking things out.

That night I asked Potter if it was alright to call him... hmm... call him... Tomcat, no, how about Timmy Tomcat!

Timmy. Timmy Tomcat. That has a nice ring to it. Truthfully
anything but Potter. I was getting ready to claw that woman
 if I heard "little pookie Potter" one more time. Meow.

Me and Inky got on famously

s

You did tend to be a couch hog! 
I was a bit wasn't I Angel Inky

I am a chatty kitty and was always telling Dad
what to do and how to do it.

I am so glad Timmy came into my life. He was a good friend to Inky until he passed in December of that year. He has been very supportive of my odd swings of mood and has grown into a true friend that gives me much more than I can say. Thanks for asking me to talk about my true heart cat.
Aww Dad... Sniff... We better start the party before I get all teary eyed. Toby take it away
You bet Timmy. This is the last day of our three day Commentathon. We are going to tally the comments from Friday, Saturday and today and give a half a green paper per comment up to one hundred green papers to a great rescue that is close to my heart:
