Cisco, the Cat of the Day
Name: Cisco
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Applehead Siamese
Home: New York, New York, USA
 
   Cisco was adopted from the California Center of Siamese Rescue two years ago and flew all the way from California to his new home in New York. One of his previous homes was a frat house, and whatever he experienced there plus the stresses of bouncing from owner to owner and his cross-country journey meant that he was a shy fellow when he first arrived, hiding much of the time and nervous around strangers. However, all the love and attention he has received at his new home has brought out his unique personality. He is now the belle of the ball at any party or gathering he attends in the apartment, although he may retreat to his closet after it's all over.

    As you can see from his picture, he loves being photographed and will often pose very obligingly for you. He enjoys helping his human chat with her daughter on IM, and even lets her know when to end the conversation by knocking over all the photographs on the desk. He eats only cat food, no human food, but he will happily push his face or paw into your water glass if you don't provide him with one of his own, or turn on the tap or his fountain for him to drink from.

    Cisco is very intelligent, and a shrewd and skilled gamescat. He has excellent timing in hide and seek and has been known to startle his human opponents by jumping out at a surprising moment. He is often the winner in games of "pounce standoff" with his human. After all this activity he may go to the bedroom, pull out a dresser drawer, and take a nap nestled in all the clothing. Cisco is definitely the prince of the household.
