Zorro, the Cat of the Day
Name: Zorro
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: St. Louis, Missouri, USA
 
   Zorro joined our family when he was a year old in 2002, shortly after the death of our beloved nineteen-year-old tabby Murphy. I'd gone to the Humane Society in search of a kitten, but couldn't resist stopping by the enclosure for adult males as well. I was petting another cat when Zorro reached out and put his paw on my hand - one look into those gorgeous green eyes, and I was hooked! Zorro came home with me and his new baby brother Einstein, and the two of them have ruled the house ever since - joined by their new sister, Megan, late last year.

    Zorro is named for a brave and swashbuckling hero due to his fantastic black mask, but don't let that fool you: He is a serious "mama's boy" and a bit of a scaredy-cat as well, running for cover whenever he hears the doorbell ring! He loves playing "fetch" with foam rubber balls, terrorizing his sister, cuddling with all his humans, and having his picture taken!

    Zorro is always able to brighten my day, and has a special spot with his Mom.
