Tater.

A former street cat who discovered the comforts of indoor life.

From our Nine Lives years. This original story keeps the cat’s own playful voice and memories of the former lounge.

I’m Tater. That’s Tater, like Mater. I’m what you would call a retired trash cat, but in a good way, let me explain. I was wandering the streets & hitchin’ rides across town & I may have ended up a bit lost. Well, one October evening I saw a bright light coming towards me and thought “this is it” but luckily it was just a Jeep & come to find out, that would be the start of my luxurious inside life. It took a bit of getting used to living at Nine Lives, I’m such a softy but I couldn’t let the crew in the lounge know that. I had an image to uphold. Well, after months of pretending I was that old man that doesn’t like kids in their yard, I started to show the crew how sweet I really was & they couldn’t believe it! I love the Lounge life and being spoiled with food all the time & the best part. It’s brought to me; I don’t have to go hunt for it! When I arrived at Nine Lives my name was chosen, well, I really don’t know how but come to find out, it fits me because I sure do LOVE TATERS, that includes mashed taters, baked tater, tater chips & those French tater fries! The picture? Yeah, unfortunately I looked so rough I had to get this ridiculous hair cut but they tell me we are trying to “grow” it out but, I just really hate grooming so we will see how that goes.
