Garden Security: Meet Tober

Meet Tober! Our garden security guard. Though she is 13 years old, she still hunts regularly and keeps our yard free from moles and other destructive critters. She also monitors the neighbors yards for moles as well, particularly helpful for them since they have such beautiful lawns (we on the other hand mainly focus on flowers, trees and bushes). Tober was born as a feral cat but retrieved from her mother by my daughter when she was old enough to be separated from her mother (also a long haired beauty). She lived with my daughter for many years, most of the time as an indoor cat (but she had her nights of escape every now and then). Tober adapted to many apartments in the Boston area. Finally, my darling daughter could not take two cats with her for one of the moves and Tober ended up with us (my hubby and I). Though she spent the first six months with us running to the cellar everytime she heard a strange noise or got nervous, she now is our princess cat and very affectionate as well as a great companion (she is quite talkative).
