ok, as i was driving to work after dropping children off at school, i saw a woman walking with her cat. the cat was walking right along with her like she had a leash- right on pace- it was a sight to see. cats just don't do that as a matter of course. we once had a mother and daughter pair that would 'walk' with us on occassion- around the circle. fluff and tootsie would actually walk with us, rather they would follow us, about 10-15 feet behind, like secret agents on a survelience mission. it was a hoot...i really miss those cats. fluff was not the fluffiest of the two- tootsie was bushy and wild looking, but she somehow got the name tootsie when she showed up one day with her 2 kittens. one of the kittens died soon after, leaving us with fluff. gosh, i miss those cats.
