TOTTE - eng

OK, it is I who am Totte aka "IP S * John-John's Okangey". IP stands for that I have a title that means international preliminary or something like that.
I was born in Uppsala where I grew up with Ingrid, Mama Maggie, my brother Sammy and lots of other cat-ladies.![[04] - Totte spanar in Humlans svans på soffkanten.JPG [04] - Totte spanar in Humlans svans på soffkanten.JPG](http://lh6.ggpht.com/-spnYmcXmvV4/TiltH159X3I/AAAAAAAABiw/4YrGt5d8dYE/s144/%255B04%255D%2520-%2520Totte%2520spanar%2520in%2520Humlans%2520svans%2520p%25C3%25A5%2520soffkanten.JPG)
When I moved here Humlan was initially very grumpy and would just chase me. But my pleading eyes made her melt and she became my new mother. And my best best play friend.
After living with mum and dad for a while they got the idea that I would be going to a cat exhibition. At first I thought I had done something really stupid because I had to sit in a cage, like jail, and then meet with a judge, like Judge. But it was certainly not so because I got something called a cert (a piece of paper) and then a flower to put on the cage. And mum and dad were very proud.
 After a few cat shows, I managed to nag enough, to get Humlan to join me. She has also received a lot of cage flowers.
I did however take a break from the competition as a little kid moved in with us. I swear I had nothing to do with it but since Humlan refused to take care of Flingan I had to. And since I am the best of the best I was even able to do things like that.
 Unfortunately, I broke leg and I had to go to the animal hospital and had an operation. The operation itself wasn’t so bad. It was the time after the surgery that was worst. Mum and dad had been inculcated that I needed a swimming coach. Have you ever heard anything so stupid? Even worse was that we actually went to the "DOG Healer" to swim. I may say that I’m quite delicious looking in a life jacket. Though one may wonder if they thought I am a dog? I protested loudly against the swimming treatment, so after three times we stopped. Well Humlan got sick at the same time but I don’t think that had anything to do with it.
 Well, when I then after six months came back to the show world it went great. I even got nominated. This means that the judge thought I was the prettiest among a bunch of other cats. The judge was Amerrrrican and has been featured on television so he is really good. It takes some brains to distinguish one rough diamond like me.
 One day Flingan had two mini-Flings which I, of course, took over. One left home after 12 weeks and the other one stayed with us. He got lots of dry food so now he's bigger than me, CHEATER! We call him Ängsull and he is now my best bestest guy friend!
Then Sessan came to the family. I became her dad to. She is still quite small so she has not had as much of my dry food as Ängsull had. When she had kittens, she wanted me to be there as her midwife, but for some stupid reason, mum wouldn’t let me. .... Though I got to babysit them after a week or so. One day all my kittens had moved out and even my beloved Flingan packed her bag and left. She now lives as the only cat and is allowed to eat as much dry food she wants. I’d also like to have it like that, but I don’t think mum and dad would get along without me. I feel that I'm a very important part of their everyday life.
 What more about me. Well, if anything is broken at home I’m always blamed. That Gravity always seems to escape! If I get hold of him I will tell him a thing or two!
Well then it's one more thing, top secret. But don’t tell anyone....I have a secret girlfriend. Her name is Missen and she is one of those domestic cats. She lives with Aunt Nena, dad sister. Unfortunately, a big black guy has moved in to her place, a cat that has been living in a shelter or something like that. When I went to see Missen I had put him firmly into place. Or something like that. I kind off told him off.
Then I have a favorite person and it's another Aunt Nena, dad’s mom. She is so found of me that I get to help her in whatever she is doing! She even allows me to train my coordination among the finest porcelain and other exciting things. She is very fun to be with.
Well, now I’m done telling you about me. I have other things to do now!
