My husband and I took our one year-old cat to our vet and during this visit the vet determined she was suffering from separation anxiety while we were at work during the day. He suggested that we either put her on medicine to calm her down or try adopting a kitten to keep her company. As I was paying my bill, I noticed him. He was so tiny, only about five weeks old and his fur was so scruffy and dirty. I was informed that he was just rescued a few hours ago from the streets of the city with no mother or siblings to be found. He was still sucking with his tongue as he attempted to eat dry food. After spending about an hour playing with him we decided to take him home. We named him Tuscan because we felt he had such “Tough Skin” to be able to survive such an ordeal. He is almost two years old now and is the most vocal cat I’ve ever met. He torments our older cat on a daily basis and he has a special talent of playing fetch. If you throw his toy across the room he will get it and bring it right back to you so that you keep playing with him. His personality entertains everyone he meets.
