Mark and Sparkles



Mark and Sparkles are Tony's kittens, acquired in late 2018 after the death of his cat Pudding around September 2018. Named after enforcers madmark and Mr Sparkels respectively, these fluffy angels are more like devils.

Mark was originally named Kenny, in honour of his friend Pastor Ken. However, after allegations of Ken's sordid past began to surface, Tony renamed Kenny to Marky, in honour of his BTR enforcer and friend madmark.

These kittens are known for creating havoc in the background, such as knocking things off the counter and scratching Tony's legs. Tony has observed that Mark is the good kitten, whereas Sparkles is the bad kitty. Lately Sparkles has been the ringleader in crime, leading Mark astray.

One time Sparkles leapt onto Tony's work-space, knocking over the microphone. This created a dent in it and fear that it was broken. Tony loves his cats but they work hard to change his mind. The way Tony treats his kittens has Jesco often scorning him. It has been joked that the kittens are covert trolls, messing with Tony from the inside.

In the later half of 2019 Tony did not mention Mark and Sparkles, leading to concerns that he might not own them anymore. In mid-February 2020 Sparkles returned, upsetting Tony by shitting on his carpet. Mark was not mentioned during that moment.

In May of 2020 Tony moved to Hollywood. He did not state if he took the cats with him. This became of great concern when Tony returned to Boston but still did not bring up his cats. Numerous callers urged him to let the listeners hear his cats but Tony gave excuses.

The rumour going around is that Tony put them in the toilet, shat on them, and flushed them down the toilet. Others say Tony lynched them. Tony adamantly denied these accusations. He refused to provide any evidence to back up his statements but his cats have been heard meowing in the background.

Tony mistreats his cats by using a spray bottle on them and locking them in his room. This eerily mirrors Tony Ferrar abusing Ken.

As of July 2021 it is confirmed the cats are still alive. Sparkles is especially lively, having destroyed Tony's Venetian blinds at least three times since being adopted.

In January 2022 it was reported that Mr. Sparkles, a longtime fan and ex-enforcer of the show, sadly had passed away. The cat Sparkles, named in honour of Tony's friend, did not like Tony's tribute show and took swipes at him.

At the end of Tony's return from hiatus in April 2022 Tony threatened to hit one of his cats.
