TOSCA
BORN: approx. 1995 NICKNAMES: Toscabella Tosca is Diva's mother. By an odd quirk of fate, I acquired Diva first and had no idea her mother was still around until she suddenly showed up at the same location I found Diva. Tosca was so identical to Diva, and had the same operatic singing voice, I knew instantly she had to be related. I contacted the friends from whom I'd acquired Diva. They'd never gotten around to naming Diva's mother because she had disappeared over a year earlier, not long after having the litter. Tosca talked and talked to me incessantly until I gave in and brought her home. Mother and daughter spent two weeks hissing at one another (cats have awfully short memories for other cats), but are now friends. They love to get into rough and tumble play, so rough I often worry that they're fighting. The only way I can tell them apart (without a collar) is that Tosca is heavier than her daughter and has slightly greener eyes. Tosca and Diva are friendly to everybody, so much so that I sometimes to refer to them as my slut kitties. |
