Fremont, the Cat of the Day
Name: Fremont
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Anchorage, Alaska, USA
 
   This eighteen-pound hunka hunka purring love is Fremont - a/k/a the Fremonster. It's hard to believe that when I brought him home to live with me he was small enough to curl up in the palm of my hand. He's not a fat boy, just a big cat with an exceptionally fluffy tail. I adopted Fremont and his brother Larry at about the same time and the two of them have been a team ever since. Last year I adopted Tucker, and though he resisted at first, Fremont eventually bonded with her too. For some reason Fremont prefers red toys - fuzzy mice and feathery toys, but he will always chase a rope or long string around if the opportunity arises.

    As a kitten he liked to sit on my shoulder and although he is much to large for that now, he still tries. He's definitely a lap cat - when it's his idea, of course. In addition to his red toys, ropes and strings, his favorite things include sitting directly in front of the monitor when I am at the computer, ribbons and bows, sitting in and shredding cardboard boxes, cat treats, rousing games of tag with the other cats, and spending long afternoons out on the deck bird watching and napping in the sun. He hates plastic bags, doorbells, and my sister's Chihuahua-mix dog. He hides when visitors stop by, but eventually he comes out to investigate and flirt. At night he curls up in bed next to me and kneads, purrs, and drools to his heart's content. He's my big love muffin.
