ogi and Boo Boo were named by a colleague in Brighton Borough Council as it was at the time, yes! after the cartoon characters! Hence why even today a cat will be called by it's name followed by 'bear'...so Yogi 'bear', BooBoo 'bear', Betty 'bear' as yet another term of endearment!
Yogi was a ginger tabby and Boo Boo was pure white not a speck of colour, certainly not any that I could find. They were brothers and were very much friends, often laying together bodies and legs entwined. BooBoo would spend much time washing Yogi who would languish in the ritual and enjoy the pleasure of having his fur 'combed'.
A friend of min, Phil, would regale many a supposed story of teh antics of both when we were at work. The job was pretty pressurised, I think Phil hoped it would help me destress in thinking about my cats rather than the goings on at work which seemed never ending! I can remember one such story about them being seen at the window by Phil, wearing rucksacks and telling him that they have flasks with a cold drink inside, a few cat biscuits in case they get peckish, a towel they found in the bathroom, and some sun cream that was beside the sink ...they were off to the beach and sunbathing. However, being aware that white cats are susceptible to sunburn on their ears Boo Boo had strict instructions from Yogi that he couldn't lounge on the deckchair, (they were going to hire with the change they found on the kitchn table!) and would have to sit underneath the chair. Now you ahve to udnerstand that as Phil told me the story with which he had a way of making you see this scenario in your mind's eye with such clarity and belief...until I remembered that we were five floors up!!
