On November 23rd 2011 we decided to adopt another stray cat. We named him Tommy because 1) Thomas Jefferson is an inspirational person, 2) He lived in the woods for a period of time and we thought he should be named something to resemble a tomboy, and 3) we wanted something that ended in a 'y' hense Tommy.
(To see more pictures of Tommy click the photograph above.)
