Meet Toots

This is Toots (pronounced like tootsie roll and not the sound a horn makes.) She is my BFF who happens to be really small like me and a little scrappy looking too. She's not a lover or a fighter but more of a trashy diva. She eats healthy cat food (Califorina Naturals) that is gluten free because I have Celiac Sprue and I have to feed any animals I have around the same diet as me so that I can be licked without danger...
Toots doesn't kill much of anything except bugs, and when she gets attacked by normal sized cats she poops herself in defense- which is a great method that I hope I never have to use. We wake up every morning together and she stretches in my arms. :)

Having animals around is an amazing way to keep relaxed, happy & healthy - and to learn compassion for the biodiversity we exist in. If you are thinking of having an animal friend make sure to go to your local animal shelter, which is where I adopted Toots from!

Update: Stray Kitties Getting Fixed

Me and my good friend & neighbor Heather had set out a trap over the weekend to catch these stray kittens, and we caught all three! They are now getting fixed for free at a special clinic and will be tested for various contagious diseases. We want to help keep the stray cat population down, which is totally out of control in Asheville (and super crazy in our back yard!) - so we are going to be catching some wild (meaning insanely Ferrel) ones here and there, and then releasing them once they are fixed. But these cuties...well... they are getting tame & we are in love.


These guys are too cute to be true - and we still need a home for at least one of them. If you live in the Asheville area and would like to adopt a sweet fixed kitty for free please email me at info {at} theokobox dot com.
