Twelve years ago I saw a mother cat and her kittens passing through our front yard. There were a lot of feral cats in our neighborhood back then. I called out, “Here kitties, kitties!” The momcat and two kittens disappeared into the woods and were never seen again. The third kitten came to me. We named him Tommie and we lived happily ever after.

When I got home from the shelter on Sunday, Tommie and I went for a walk in the woods. We love the Fall leaves.

Six years ago we adopted Gracie from PAWS . She was thrilled with her party hat and Tommie gave her a kiss.

Benjamin, at the shelter, has lovely white paws. But at home, my boy Tommie has champion polydactyl paws.
