Santucci Goes Outside

Over the December holidays, Melissa and I got a kitten. His name is Santucci, named after a famous square-sliced pizzeria in Northeast Philadelphia. Melissa’s family order from that pizzeria all the time, and we decided to give him a unique name that we’ve never really heard with a cat or a person. Melissa says Santucci’s is the best pizza, but I’m a Rustica snob for now.

Although he’s an indoor cat, we decided to let him walk around the yard with a leash on. After all, we paid all that money in getting him various shots at the vet, might as well let him hang out back for a bit!

Here he is in action:

We rarely call him "Santucci", and prefer to call him "The Tooch". I’ve also referred to him as "Tooch Master General", "Tooch McGooch" and "El Toocherino". Unfortunately, due to this, he probably has no idea what his name is. To make matters more confusing, I decided to give him a middle name of "Rambo" due to his tough strut and hostile sneak attacks.
