Toldo the cat brings gifts to his late master’s tomb

The story of a cat who visits his master’s tomb and brings him little presents on an almost daily basis a year after the man’s death has moved the inhabitants of a village in central Italy.

“He brings little twigs, leaves, toothpicks, plastic cups. A bit of everything really,” Renzo Iozzelli’s widow Ada told AFP on Friday from Montagnana, a mountain village near Florence.

“Sometimes he comes with me and sometimes he goes on his own. The whole town knows about him now!”

Toldo the cat — a grey-and-white three-year-old tomcat — followed Iozzelli’s funeral procession last year and has continued going to the cemetery ever since, a habit usually ascribed to dogs.
