We found Toby in a want ad. Someone dropped off a box of kittens at a house in our area. I had been looking for a long time for just the right kitten - the want ad offered a female called "Peaches." I was intrigued, and the photo melted my heart.
Once I picked her up in my arms she licked every single button on my coat and then bit my chin! I could hold her in one hand so I named her Tina. I was smitten right then and there! She was only about 5 weeks old and very dirty and had mites in her ears. Only I took the kitten to the Vet that very day and we discovered Tina was a boy! so Tina became Toby.
Toby loves high places and likes to play with water, even in the tub! I recently retired on account of disability, and Toby helps me with everything. He comes onto the bed once my husband goes to work at 4:00 am, to make sure I am safe until morning, then He wakes me up by 7:00 am, by licking my arm or chin, because he is hungry by then. He keeps me company while my husband is at work, and helps me cook meals by watching my every move, and crouching on the kitchen island while I work and pawing/tasting everything.
When he hears my husband's truck in the driveway, he makes his funny "Purrmeep, Purrmeow" sounds as he runs to the front window to greet him. He is trying to get his courage up to go outside, now that he is neutered and healthy, but he has to see me at all times to make sure he can get back in and is safe! He is my sweetest little friend, my Toby!
