Excerpt from Toots and Other Stories: Old Fashioned Stories and Jingles for New Fashioned Little Folk He was devotedly fond of us all and sang for us the most beautiful kitty songs, and While he did not enjoy petting, as most cats do, he had his own way of showing affection, having a most social disposition and loving to get as near to his friends as possible. We were all very busy at Rest Cottage and Toots seemed to understand that we could not pay him much attention; but he would curl.
