TOBY

 

Toby was an early friend of Henry and the BFCC.
All of us at the BFCC loved this dear boy for his dedication,
his sweetness, his affectionate ways and for his steady, calm temperament.

Toby and Murphy Cat were Talent Scouts at the BFCC,
diligently searching the internet for beautiful pinups.
Then they branched out and started selecting the
BFCC Featured Homepage of the Month.
You have all read Toby's enthusiastic introductions of those pages.

A TRIBUTE TO TOBY
by Meowmie Frances

From the first time I saw Toby as a kitten, I felt he belonged with me. He was like an old friend, long gone, now returning. Although Toby and Daddy Bud were buddies, there was never any question who he belonged to. He and Tuki played well together, always on HER terms. He was smart enough to let her "win" their games, which made her happy and assured him of a regular playmate. Toby was a true Gentleman Cat, and I don't recall him ever doing a single thing bad in his entire life. Err.... well maybe, if you don't count making lace out of a roll of toilet paper! :)

After Daddy Bud died Toby stuck closer to me than ever. A friend brought to my attention that when other people were around, Toby would quietly plant himself between them and me, like he was guarding me or something. I think he sensed my distress and vulnerability and did his sweet, level best to maintain equilibrium in our home.

He blessed my life from September 4, 1986 until August 25, 2002.

May all cats be as lovely and dear as Toby.

 

Toby is survived by Murphy Cat and Tessie.

His beautiful sister Tuki is already an Angel here.
