Tootsie In today`s world, my name is considered misogynistic. However, I read that in 1876, Tootsie was in use as a pet name for girls and women. So I`m going to believe it`s a term of affection. I am a 3-year-old female, spayed, brown-and-black Tabby cat. At 15.5 pounds, I realize that I am overweight, but I`m working on a slimming plan. I am eating Hill`s W/D to promote a healthy weight loss. In February `24, I was found as a stray. My finder dumped me, ran out the door, hopped in a car, and drove away. My first owner decided to surrender me rather than reclaim me. So I felt rejected and let down. I was adopted a few days later, hooray! But after 1 year, my second owner returned me to the shelter. Here is my assessment of what went wrong. I am a confident, sociable, friendly lady. When my owner brought me home, he had another resident cat. Despite trying gradual introductions, that cat was just too passive, unsure of herself, and easily intimidated. I did not understand this, so I considered her an ideal target for stalking, hunting, and bullying. She didn`t like being chased, but didn`t have the confidence to tell me to lay off. I have never enjoyed the company of a milktoast. With my human roommates, I was very sweet-natured and affectionate. They reported that I am super playful, that I love toy mice, that I loved sleeping on the wife`s chest, and that I even played with the six-year-old pug. I happily lived with teenagers and did well with kids. I was never destructive and enjoyed scratching on my cardboard scratchers, especially when there was catnip on them. The interviewer lady (IL) found me delightful and that I loved being petted and loved on, purring all the while. The Feline Care Specialists think I would do well in a home with a confident, well-adjusted, outgoing cat. No nambie pambie scaredy cats! With the proper introduction and a cat-savvy owner, I will fit into most homes. So how about it, Toots? 12-3-25
