Boss Tweed

Boss Tweed

I adopted Boss Tweed on lucky 10-10-10, from PAWS in Seattle. He was about two years old at the time. Boss is a big old lover who wants to cuddle, comes when you call him, sleeps in the crook of my arm each night, and has a meow that sounds like a squeaky door hinge. Forgive me for saying so, but Boss is also the most flatulent animal I have ever owned!

When I saw “Boss Man” in the shelter I said to my mom, “Look at that fat cat. He looks like he’s wearing a coat that is two sizes too small, and he should be chewing on a stogie. He reminds me of Boss Tweed, the corrupt politician of NYC’s Tammany Hall fame in the late 1800’s.”

She replied, “Your cat just found you.”

Boss has always been a yowler in the car, but after reading the blogs of other full-time RVers, I am hopeful that he will assimilate into the RV lifestyle. (Thank you and a big shout out to full-timers, cat owners, and bloggers, Technomadia and Gone With the Wynns.)

I imagine Tweedie lounging in the sun on the dashboard of the rig, or looking out a passenger-side peeper window. Of course, there is the age-old dilemma and debate about where to put a litter box in an RV; for now I think the best solution for me will be to put it in the shower.

I also think I’m going to try to leash train him. (She said naively.)

    Boss Tweed looks and sounds a lot like my cat, Cosmo. Cosmo convinces every visitor that they are the answer to his prayer and that he really just wants to be with them from now on. I have to tell them not to feel all special–he’s that way with every human he has ever met. Maybe they were separated at birth.

    By the way, I’m pretty sure you’re the same Tammy Williams who worked with me at Spokane Legal Services Center. Seeing your write-up in the Northwest Lawyer put a huge smile on my face. Happy happy travels!
