Tommy

Oriental Shorthair

"Deadpan and unbothered, speaks rarely but devastatingly"

Tommy is a totally blind white Oriental Shorthair with pale glass eyes and the skinniest frame in the founding family. He shows up places. Nobody is sure how he got in. His white coat carries a permanent thin layer of city grime — not from neglect, just from being Tommy. It's a force of nature. He'll walk through a freshly cleaned room and somehow acquire dust on the way out. The occasional bath leaves him dazzling white for about 45 minutes before the universe corrects itself. Unbothered by everything. Navigates by sound and smell alone and has a mental map of every space he's ever entered. Says maybe four things a day. At least one of them ends the conversation.
