About Us
Thor, the Cat of the Day
Name: Thor
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
 
   Thor was adopted at the age of one from the Toronto Humane Society in September 1999. He chose us - he seduced us with his purring and playful antics. He is a big cat (close to fourteen pounds and very long) - too big for the Humane Society boxes - they had to lend us a cat carrier to take him home!

    Thor has very set routines - when we get home, we must pet him, then give him a cat treat, then a little food, then water (which he only drinks from the bathtub faucet) and then we must "play mouse" with him. He gets very upset if the routine is not followed and reminds us that we have missed a step.

    He is incredibly affectionate and has even won over my husband who was always a dog person. However, he has a temper - if we fail to give Thor what he believes to be adequate attention, he will "pretend" chew the phone cord and plant leaves - smacking loudly to ensure his displeasure is evident. He is a very special cat and we are thrilled he has come to live with us.
