How the Adventures of Tuxedo the Cat was born
Clinton was a police officer, and Maralee was a legal assistant for a family law attorney and an avid photographer. Maralee had a passion for photography, and Clinton was Clinton, but they were always active people. One day, his doctor told him that he had to either stop smoking or die, so he decided to take up marathoning to stay healthy. After months of running in the same park, they eventually ran into each other. After 13 years of being running friends, they got married. By this time, Clinton retired, and they moved to Bend, Oregon, and got a pet cat.
Clinton always loved animals, ever since he was a little boy. So when he and Maralee got married, they knew they wanted to get a pet. They went to a shelter and adopted a female cat. To their surprise, a week later she gave birth to 4 male kittens; one was named Tuxedo
– a big black cat with white paws and a milk-colored muzzle splashing onto his chest.
One day, Clinton picked up his front paws and had him dance to a tune from the television. He looked so cute while flashing a bored look on his face. And the rest, as they say, is history. Tuxedo the Sophisticated Cat was born! We envisioned him to take on the persona of Garfield the Cat: arrogant, to the point, and well, sophisticated.
