Me with one of the cats that were ever-present at Grandma's House. They weren't 'inside' pets or anything like that. Their jobs were to help in the pest-control department(mice, etc.). They were all over the place(the cats). They'd just come & go, you were never quite sure where. Grandma was always sure to keep bowls of water out for them & would 'sneak' scraps' from the kitchen to supplement their diet. I don't recall any of them ever really having a name other than 'Tom'. Although I'm sure there were a few 'Tomasinas' around. I've always liked cats, we just weren't allowed to have any of them inside. I'm a Hardcore DOG-PERSON, but I do have a soft spot for cats. This is just one of the many I knew all those years ago. Not positive, but I think his name might have been Tom!
