Toccata


Toccata June 1, 1989 - Feb. 10 2007

He made sure those rowdy little girls would be good cats before he left. He taught them the basics such as "Bedtime" and "Gotta go to work!" means "run downstairs as fast as you can." He also taught them that flopping over on your side meant you'd get rubbed with a foot. Fermata and Fantasia soon learned that sitting politely on a chair at the table was better than jumping ON the table. We used to say that he was so smart that if he got our PIN number, we'd be in trouble; but perhaps we should have let him handle our investments - we would probably have been able to retire by now. He carried on intelligent conversations with anyone who was here, and sang duets - with a name like Toccata, you know he had perfect pitch! We know he's sitting on Buddy Holly's lap teaching him the "right" way to do "That'll be the Day." Meeowww!
