Frisco, the Cat of the Day
Name: Frisco
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Blue Moggy
Home: Gawler, Tasmania, Australia
 
   Frisco and his brother, Ragnar, were born very early one Christmas morning in our wardrobe, their mother [Kira] having 'adopted' us when she was already pregnant. He and his brother lost their mother when they were twelve weeks old and their stepfather took over raising them - even letting them 'suckle' him!

    Frisco delights in bringing live vermin from the paddocks into the house in the wee hours of the morning, letting them go and then watching while half-groggy humans chase them around the house. He is in the process of making my hair as grey as his, especially when his 'catch' is a Tiger snake!

    He loves walks and comes to a whistle, musical card or a door bell. His motto is 'Excelsior', because he is forever trying to climb higher in trees or on buildings. Frisco sometimes wakes my husband up in the morning by putting a slightly extended clawed paw on his head; by yowling in a loud voice; or by walking around the bed with 'heavy sounding' footsteps. He is also 'The Most Beautiful Cat in the Universe' and he doesn't disagree with me when I say that.
