Duck Tabby
Should we get Lone Gunman a cat ?????
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - Tondalayo, a 45-year-old Sumatran orangutan, and T.J., a stray tabby cat, became an inseparable duo after a zoo employee introduced them late last year.
Stephanie Willard, Education Director at Zoo World in Panama City Beach, said Tondalayo was depressed since losing her mate two years ago.
Her age prevented her from moving to another zoo or taking another mate. The ducks and turtles swimming in a moat around her island were not enough, Willard told the Panama City News Herald for Thursday's editions.
When the sweet-natured orange cat wandered into Willard's life, the solution became clear.
"It's an unbelievable match," Willard said. "This has worked out a lot better than I expected it to. She's got brighter eyes now. He's brought a lot of light to her."
Zookeepers named the cat, T.K. — short for "Tondalayo's Kitty."
They play together, cuddle and sleep together each night. They have been together constantly for more than a month.
That's an orangutan for you...easily amused. Me on the other hand, have more cat's than I know what to do with.
They are not actually mine though. They belong to my mother-in-law, who lives next door. She owns about 9 and has another 7 or 8 strays. She even (get this) had me build a "kitty city" outside and a "kitty condo" inside her house. It consists of multi-levels of carpeted platforms, stringed, catnip ladened toys, and cubby holes. (I had some free time on my hands)
