Buto the Wonder Kitty


This is Buto. We rescued her from a shelter a few months ago because she looked nearly identical to my favorite cat of all time, Watto. Like Watto, Buto loves to play fetch, yet unlike the somewhat psycho mean-spirited version, she is the sweetest, funniest, loveable cat. I am constantly surprised at how tolerant of the kids she is. They will try to poke her with the broom, trap her under chairs, throw stuffed animals on her, and yet she remains sweet and docile. She refuses to run and hide, like our other cat, Little Ang, who has taken up residence outside, away from J & E, and will always stand her ground. From time to time, she will let them know they have crossed the line, and give them a swift swat to the chest or hand. Of course, this only deters them temporarily, and it is usually nothing a rub of peroxide and an Elmo bandaid won't cure. One of these days, they will realize that cats are sharp, and that they shouldn't mess with the Buto.
