Trilock, the Cat of the Day
Name: Trilock
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
 
   This is Trilok. He is named after an Indian drummer, Trilok Gurtu. His favorite treat is cantaloupe. I once gave him a choice between chicken & cantaloupe to see which one he's choose, and he went for the cantaloupe without hesitation!

    He is a very resourceful li'l guy. He adopted us almost seven years ago when he walked into our house and fell asleep on a pile of clean clothes in a laundry basket. He had been living with us for almost six months when we got a knock on our door. It was a neighborhood kid, about ten years old, named Johnny. He said "Um, you've got my cat." I said, Oh, I'm sorry - we thought he was a stray - do you want to take him home?" Johnny said "No, my Mom says you should keep him because our other cat doesn't like him."

    Later on, we learned that Trilok had run away the day his old family had planned to get him fixed. (Unfortunately for Tri, we got him fixed very soon after adopting him!). We also learned from neighbors that he had "tried out" various houses in our neighborhood, staying for a few days with each, then leaving. I guess he was just looking for his forever people and decided upon us! We're very happy with him and love . He's playful, feisty and has lots of personality.
