As far as we can establish, Tom died in about 2000. His 'guardian', Ralph Kibby, missed him terribly. He died a few years later, in 2005; now, his grandson says, the store has been sold and a lot has changed in Conrad since Tom was free to wander the streets and drop in on people. There's an excellent Iowa Public TV video clip at YouTube featuring Tom and another famous Iowa feline, Dewey of Spencer (which was only some 100 miles away). Dating from 1998, it's well worth watching to see these two beloved cats, sadly both now gone, going about their business. |

Our featured feline at the head of the page is Socks, pictured in 2003 surveying his 'estate' in the early morning sunshine. Affectionately known as Soxy, he blossomed from a thin and hungry stray into a substantial and handsome cat who loved life and company, and his gentle ways endeared him to many friends. He is now no longer with us, but you can read more from his human companion here.
