Otto, a beautiful Tonkinese, came with his sister Cleo who unfortunately died of kidney failure this year. We had rescued them from a squalid house belonging to an elderly breeder who was shutting down and getting rid of all her animals. The place was filthy and jumping with fleas and the cat litters were overflowing. Otto is a lovely chocolate–point but suffers from epileptic fits so is unable to go anywhere, not even the vets, without a dose of Valium to calm him down. The mere sight of a cat basket will set him off. Initially wary of strangers, he welcomes everyone he knows.
