Over the years we’ve had cats and a couple of dogs.  One Bengal remains, Rusty, born December 1995.  His brother Skipper died in 2008 after surviving a life with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, controlled by a small daily dose of Cardizem.  Than goodness for Pill Pockets making the pilling easy.

In 2009 we adopted GTO from the Norwich NY SPCA.  GTO has proved to be a delightful, energetic and affectionate Gray Tabby.  When we first met him, he struck us as a boxy muscular cat.  I immediately thought of GTO muscle car of the 1960s.  As he is a Grey Tabby, GT seemed appropriate as a nickname or now “Geeter.” See below, click for bigger image.
