Odie Underfoot

Odie Underfoot

In the way that cats seem to choose their owners, Odie has adopted our family. Rachel has charmed the wildness out of this once feral tomcat. Odie keeps a high profile spot on our back doorstep, where he has perfected the art of throwing himself under the feet of unsuspecting humans. He also likes to harass our other cats, especially the genuinely feral Evil Kitty (if you could see Evil Kitty slinking around, you'd understand why Rachel gave him this name). Although I've often wished he would go on walkabout like other toms, Odie's comical personality sort of grows on me.
