Tobias Thomas O'Malley a.k.a. Toby :)

We got Tobias Thomas O'Malley from a breeder who had rescued him and many others from a woman who was attempting to breed, but kept too many of her kittens. Over 40 cats were taken, and Toby (his name was Steele at the time) was one that went to Talshipp Maine Coons. I had contacted Vicki looking for a retired showcat, and she told me about Steels's situation. We exchanged emails for a few months, and a few months ago, we picked him up in Augusta, Ga. He had been placed in a home already, but beaten up by their other cat, so he was returned. He was very shy, skittish, and scared, all things we are still working on, but he is flourishing under our care. He's about 4 years old, and is a retired Maine Coon show and stud cat. We were told he won one show. We can see why, he's our handsome boy! When we got Tobias, Bagheera hated him instantly. But with lots of patience, time, and love, she came around, and now she only moderatly tolerates him! LOL, no, she likes him, he just gets a little too needy sometimes with the cuddling-and when your best friend is nearly twice your size, you don't want to snuggle all the time! Now Toby and Gheeri are friends. -Rita a.k.a. GS/Gheeri's Servant
