Ruby's Babies Part 3: The Tabbies

April 8, 2010

Jen says: Ruby's litter included three tabby babies who came to be called Topsy, Tanglefoot, and Coco. In order to tell the tabbys apart, if there's one with no white at all that'll be Tanglefoot. Topsy is a spotty tabby and a little paler and greyer than the other two. Coco is the one that's left. He has long white boots on each of his legs that set him apart.

Tanglefoot and Topsy left us when they were ten weeks old. Tanglefoot went to live in Scotland with Scrabble. He was another King Mog, very big and with quite a forceful personality. He wouldn't be told what to do. Topsy lives with an elderly lady called Doreen in the Peak District. She was a shy, quiet little thing (Topsy, not Doreen!), and ran away from any loud noises or strange people.

Coco is with us, along with his brother Big Ginge and mom Ruby. Coco is a dandy. He's very fastidious and really quite camp, strutting around in his white kinky boots. He won't put up with being picked up, but his favourite time of the day is snuggling up to my husband on the bed and getting his tummy rubbed.
