We have a second cat named Toby. He’s a medium-haired cat, but his coat has two layers. The inner layer is thicker than his outer one and his hair clings to everything. He has a problem with static electricity. It will cling to your hand. He has very short legs. He looks like he wobbles when he walks. He is a big cat with a large frame. Now he’s on a diet because he was eating Baby-Girl’s food too! We have had to separate their dishes.
From a distance, he looks black, but he’s not. He’s a dark brown. When he sits in the sun, you can see he is a dark reddish brown. His eyes are black, but when he is excited and wants to play, they get a tint of green. He looks like my first cat, Beny. He has the same colours and same type of tail as Beny. Beny was medium-haired too. Toby also has the same temperament as Beny. He’s laid back and he likes people the same as Beny did. Toby has a loud purr too, like a motor. Toby has been declawed, but the hair on his toes makes it look like he has his claws. It looks funny and gives him character. It makes him look tough.
Toby bites shoe laces. He always likes to chew on shoe laces and we gave him a pair of socks. He always carries a sock in his mouth. He meows as he carries it. He’ll try to hide it under the table so nobody will touch it. Every time we got to bed we shut the lights off and he’ll carry the sock right to our door. Every morning we see two socks at our door. It’s cute! Every time when I lie down, Toby always wants to go under the covers. He always lays against my stomach. He snuggles in very good. He gets these moments when he runs after Baby-Girl and tries to pin her down but she is too fast. He wins sometimes, but she wins most of the time.
Before I learned to read well, I would bake items from memory. I had made these things many times before and knew what ingredients to use.
Now that I can read much better, I can try new and different recipes because I can read the instructions by myself. I like to bake cookies, muffins, tea biscuits, and pies. Things that I bake, I share with my husband and my friends in the upgrading program at the Captain William Spry Public Library.
