His daddy had to have been siamese because a couple of the kittens looked like full blooded siamese but Scooter was tabby even though he and Dolly were brother and sister. We decided to take them both. Dolly had the prettiest blue eyes. My hubby named her after Dolly Parton because at the time Dolly was his favorite singer. Here is a few stories of how Scooter took care of Dolly. Dolly was not too smart but Scooter took care of her and taught her how to jump off our deck to the ground. He would show her how and then run down to the ground and watch her to see if she could do it right. She finally learned. I caught him one day pulling a toy by the string on our front porch and she was running after the toy. One day there was a cat about to attack Dolly on our porch. Scooter got in between them so the cat could not hurt her. One story that really got to me is when he was not even grown yet. He came to my back door and was just hollering. I opened the door and thought he wanted to come in. I said come on in Scooter but he would not come in. He looked scared. I went outside and he walked right beside and I saw Dolly on the fence in the backyard about to fall. I picked her up and sat her on the ground and they went running off side by side. Amazing how Scooter knew to come and get memile: Dolly passed away at only 2 years old and my Scooter when he was 12. I cried my eyes out when he passed. We were so close!!.Glad you liked Scooter's song Ruby
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
