Holiday Tuxedo Gallery 2001 

 ... 

 Pepper Mille: Concatulations on mewr winning Mr. Teetles.   How does it feel to win?

 Teetles:  It feels wunnnderful Pepper Mille! I've never competed against other tuxedo kitties before. It was a fun to be apart of a contest
made for kitties who look like me....(ready for a formal dinner party hehe) And to be the only boy kitty, whew...I was sure nervous that
those beautiful girl kitties were gonna beat me!!! I think I was just lucky! 
 

Pepper Mille: I called mew Mr. because I bet a lot of kitties didn't know mew were a boy. 

Mew haf an unusual name can mew tell us how mew got it? 

Teetles: Well....when my meowmie picked me out of a litter of 6...I was the only black and white....ehm..."tuxedo kitty" in the bunch. She
thought I reminded her of Ticky (my oldest brofur...who at the time was living in Florida with meowmie's parents. We were in Missouri. 
She missed him and thought I looked like a little version of "ticky") To make a long story short, she was having a hard time naming me. 
She started calling me "Tee" or "Tee 2"...short for Ticky since she couldn't think of anything...and then one day....she blurted out
"Teetles" and guess what??? It stuck!!! hehe Of course, I also have a nick name that I get called frequently.... "Weezle" or
"Weezy"....only because I tend to steal things in the house and carry them off to other places....like one day, I took all of my meowmie's
socks out of her sock drawer and carried them all over the house....when she came home from work, BOY was she surprised! hehe I've done this alot! And I love to steal Ticky's food when I get a chance. He gets mad, but I do it anyway!!!

Pepper Mille:  How old are mew? Are mew an adopted kitty? 

Teetles:  I am 5 years old now. Born May 23, 1996 in Rolla, Missouri. Meowmie adopted me from a friend.     

 Pepper Mille: Do mew live wif offur kitties? Where?

Teetles:   I live wif my brofur Ticky in Florida now. My meowmie moved to Sweden 2 years ago and me and my brofur decided to stay with
our "grandparents"...(meowmie's mom and dad). Meowmie wanted to take us with her but Sweden quarantines animals for 3 months and
meowmie wouldn't get to see us at all. She didn't want to do that to us or put us through that loooooong plane ride. Even though we miss her
greatly, we're happy where we are. Our grandparents spoil us and that has its advantages! hehe Of course, Meowmie comes home often,
and that makes us real happy. We sleep on her bed when she is gone. Ohh and I also have 3 brofurs (who I have never met yet in
Sweden....Torsten, Shyloh and Ernst....you can meet them on meowmie's website). We email each other sometimes....when grandma lets me on the computer. hehe

Pepper Mille: Do mew haf a favorite sleeping place?

Teetles:  I looooove to sleep in my catnapper in the Florida room. There's lots of windows and a GREAT view to see outside! 
 
Pepper Mille:   Are mew an inside kitty? 

Teetles: Yepps, I'm an inside kitty but sometimes Grandpa takes us out back with him. Meowmie doesn't like it, but grandpa thinks we
need fresh air! He supervises us and it gives me a chance to chase lizards. There's lots of them in Florida and I catch 'em every time and
bring them inside to grandma...but she usually doesn't appreciate my gift. I can't understand why. hehe
  

Pepper Mille: I see that mewr mommie has a site called "World of Cats" Do mew haf mewr own web page?

Teetles: Yes, my meowmie missed us so much she wanted to make a site about all of us....which she calls "My World of Cats". It helps her
feel like we are all together. Plus she made it as a special dedication to my brofur Pepper who went to Rainbow Bridge in June 1999. We
all miss him alot! He was my best furiend and taught me alot about life. Each of us (including Pepper) have a special page on that site
which tells just about us. 

  Pepper Mille: Is there anything else mew would like to add?

Teetles:  Well...I just wanna thank you for the opportunity to be apart of the Holiday Tuxedo Cat Gallery. It is an honor! And if you
haven't met the rest of my brofurs, please stop by and meet us.
