Our home has 4 bedrooms, game room, media room, and a nice backyard. There are great schools nearby and there many families with children. Scooty Neighborhood Scooty is 6 years old and weighs 8 lbs. He is a Ragamuffin cat and loves to be held. He likes to 'talk' a lot and follows us around the house. He has a dark gray spot on one foot that looks like a hole in his sock! If we tap the floor with his brush and say "Brush your pretty hair?" he comes running for his hair to get brushed. Scooty also loves to play 'fetch mouse' with his stuffed mouse - he catches it like a dog. There is a neat park at the end of our street and a community pool a few blocks away, along with sports courts, walking trails, and even stocked ponds for fishing.
