Friends of Nigel 1: Teddi

Nigel is not the only fluffy creature that lives in our house, not by a long shot. Before Nigel even came to live here, there were two cats, a dog, some fish, etc. First we will introduce the most senior animal resident of the household, Teddi.

We got Teddi when she was just a baby, and with Teddi, we got another kitty named Georgia. Georgia was kind of everyone's favorite because she was more sociable. Teddi has always been somewhat of an agoraphobe.

When Teddi was younger, she managed to get hit by a car. She was gone for days, but no one really noticed because she's really somewhat more of a throw pillow that eats than a pet. Also, that same week, Georgia had pulled a much more dramatic stunt and faked her death by stowing away on a trip to the dump and then running directly into the path of a bulldozer. She made it back home safe and sound after an epic journey, and only then did someone say, "Hey... where's Teddi?" Then one day she magically reappeared again, cheerful as usual. I noticed that she was limping so I checked for scratches and poked around to see if she had gotten beat up by another kitty or something, but there were no visible marks. Later the vet told us that her hip was shattered and she had to have a rod put in her leg. Ever since, she's sat sort of lopsided...

These days, Teddi is basically the most morose cat ever to walk the earth. She basically slouches around and looks pitiful...

We still like her though.
