Tocchet

Here is Tocchet. I have had him since the day he was born, March 17, 1992. Cheyenne was his Momma, and she was pregnant when I got her. She had 4 kittens and sadly, 3 died. I just had to keep him. He is a big, sweet ball of fur. He is also called the bionic kitty because of a steel plate in his leg from a broken leg when he was little.

Cool, steel plate in the leg. You should talk to Millie, she also has a bionic leg.

How do you pronounce this name, is is like "tou-chet"? What does it mean?

He is a beautiful kitty. Yes, definitely recommend he meet Millie. You have a very nice cat family.

His name is said "Tock-it". I was becoming a hockey fan when he was a baby, and my fiance was a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. I wanted to name him Lemieux [after Mario Lemieux] because he matched the team colors, but lost the arguement that it was more for a girl kitty. So, he was named for Mario's then-teammate, Rick Tocchet. Thirteen years later, I got my Lemieux.
