Tomsk was such a beautiful cat. He and I had a thing between us where we knew what each other was thinking, I am convinced of that! He used to stare right into my eyes sometimes and I immediately knew what he was thinking or wanting. One evening, I was watching tv and all of a sudden, I could see ...

Well, it was meant to be that Tomsk got the first new skin and I think it was for a reason! When I thought about it, it seemed very logical and clear, so I am now quite pleased with the result! I have decided that next will be Smokey and then Lucky and Constantine. It seems the fairest way to ...

Tomsk was brought home from the RSPCA when we had moved to a place called Ravenswood, near Launceston Tasmania. We were only renting the house, so we had to ask the landlord permission to have a cat. When the landlord called, Ruth, who was only 5 years old then, asked him very sweetly (she had the ...

Well, I managed to edit this successfully. I had my settings wrong on the computer!
The photos were taken on a really old Instamatic camera, so are a bit small. The one of Tomsk on the leather couch was taken when he was a kitten around 3 months old and was quite big then, so we knew he was going ...
