Hi,
my name's Tonka. As you can see, I'm a calico. I only weigh four or
five pounds cause I'm a tiny little girl. I was born right here in the
house I live in. My fur momma showed up here one day and the owners took
her in. She was already expecting kittens and so here I am.
I used to go outside a lot and bug my brother, I'm afraid I never did like
to play with toys that much. Now my favorite pastimes are sleeping, bugging
my brother Pepper and my stepbrother Carlito, and eating. My favorite trick
is to guard the can of food thats just been opened. If it's sitting on the
counter, I lay right next to it and will not let any other cat get near it.
(It's mine!)
Well, that's about it. It's been a pleasure talking with you, and now I'll
be able to hold my head up as high as Pepper has his.
Mom says: Her name started out as Tanqueray, but got shortened to Tonka
over the years, I don't remember why. Tonka is a better name for her anyway
because I read somewhere that it's a Native American word for strong or
tough, and this little kitty is certainly both. Tonka thinks she's the boss
of the boys. Pepper goes along with it, but Carlito gets a little angry
with her sometimes. It doesn't stop her from trying to be top cat though.
She's a very affectionate cat - she's always looking for a lap to lay on
and demands pets and back scratches if you happen to walk past where she's
laying. She's terrified of strangers, and even freaks out when we get a
package in the mail. If it doesn't smell like home, she gets terrified and
runs around the house hiding and peeking out to see if it's safe yet.
Tonka is a little bundle of dynamite, and we love her all the more for it.
