Tonto the cat..any information on that cat?

Tonto was adoreable. I just found this from a Times interview with Art Carney in 1975:


**POSSIBLE SPOILER**



Art did not even have trouble with his costar. "Until the picture, I never liked cats. But Tonto is a helluva cat. He had two stand-ins—cats that looked exactly like him—in case he got sick or was hit by a car. But old Tonto was a real trouper, never used a stand-in once. In the last scene, where he's dying, I just looked at him lying there in his cage and I was really sad and shaken." Tonto amiably accepted Art's conversation, modeled on his uncle's chats with his dog. "I never thought it strange," explains Carney. "It was natural for someone living alone. My uncle would get up from his chair, walk into the next room, and share a thought with his dog."

I've already seen the worst movie ever made, so it can only be uphill from there.

He's one of my cat's heroes. In fact, on every trip to the meowseum, he always wants to visit the ' Tonto Room ' first. He's stuffed, you know.
