The story of TSK or Time Share Kitty

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few years back, before we retired we were going to our home in the mountains on weekends only. We noticed a cute brown tabby cat in the neighborhood, he was very friendly and would visit us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After some inquiring we found out the kitty belonged to a neighbor. She had taken him because she didn’t want him to end up at a shelter. Her mom had a friend that had to go into an assisted living home and couldn’t take him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cat’s name was Starsky (apparently there was a Hutch at one point as well) our neighbors small boy, who was a little dyslexic, called him Skistar.

 

Before we knew his name we called him Time Share Kitty (TSK) since he always came to stay with us on the weekends. Sunday afternoons when we were packing up to go back down to the city we would take him back to our neighbors.

She is a very sweet and kind woman, but with 2 small boys and a real big dog the cat liked our calm, peaceful home better. Our neighbor had said we could keep him if we wanted.

 

 

 

 

 

Once we started staying in the mountains full time he became ours forever!

 

 

 

 

 

Since he is no longer Time Share, we just call him Kitty. But he has many nicknames: Strudel, Mr Cat, Dude, KitKat, Goose (as in silly goose) .

 

 

 

 

He is the best cat ever! Very mild mannered, likes going for car rides, walks on a harness and leash. Likes calm dogs even!
