13 cats lived with me and my three sisters in Raleigh, NC. All outdoor cats, we named them: Whitey, Puffy, Scratchy, Snowy, Blackie, Rocky, Mama Cat, Smokey, Fuzzy, Baby, Milky, Tommy, and Stinky. We also grew up with Tootsie, our black Cocker Spaniel, who lived inside and out, and refereed every time we played four square on the porch.

I don’t remember any pictures ever taken of the cats. They were half-wild. Here’s the only remaining photo of Tootsie, 1967, in front of the porch of concrete squares.
