TRISCUIT

HISTORY:  Triscuit was surrendered when the dog in the home became aggressive.
BEST IN HOME WITHOUT OTHER CATS

Like my namesake I am a full of energy and sometimes salty guy. I am so full of myself that I found it difficult to hold still for my photo shoot.  I almost turn myself inside out begging for some loving, virtually standing on my head and giving bodacious head bumps. As for the salty part, I am not a fan of other cats and can be downright cranky with them. As the center of one’s universe in a single cat (ME!) home I think I would be an entertaining, affectionate, and fun companion.

Triscuit is one of THE most awesome cats at CFC. Steadily holding down a very revered post at The Scratching Post kitchen area, he’s a fast meeter and greeter and loves everyone he meets and ALMOST loves the dogs he meets more than the humans he meets. He’s not a huge fan of other cats. He needs to be watched when he is “on task” and working in the kitchen area to make sure he is behaving in an appropriate manner towards the other loose cats. His ideal home would be stocked with humans who LOVE an interactive kitty (head butts and purring and figure-eighting) and also pre-stocked with a dog or too and also kids. Some might say Triscuit is actually a dog wearing a sleek black cat suit! Note 2024:  As an update,  Triscuit no longer works at The Scratching Post and is now in our senior room where he is doing terrific!! 

More about me November 2024: As the weather warmed this year, Triscuit (aka Mr. Salty Face) became an almost permanent resident of the Senior Room Catio. Having spent years in the Post kitchen, he had no idea how wonderful the Great Outdoors of the Catio could be. He was out there ALL the time. Even Hurricane Helene’s downpours didn’t drive him inside.

And why should it? He’s got two favorite beds—one in the sun and the other in the shade for really hot days. He’s got a litter box that the other cats rarely use. Now, if only he could get GrubHub to deliver his food to the Catio, he’d NEVER have to come inside. And even though it’s now November and cooler weather has arrived, Triscuit is still enjoying the Catio.

He may have a few more salty flecks in his coal-black fur but he’s retained his handsome physique. No one would think he’s 15 years old.  And he may be mellowing a bit. While he still often ends a volunteer visit with a mild bat with his declawed front paw, he recently seemed to thoroughly enjoy a 20-minute (!) petting session with me.  Steve, CFC Volunteer

Update Spring 2024: If Triscuit could speak, perhaps he might say, “Oh my gosh. Dogs. Dogs everywhere. Look at them all go by!” With Triscuit nicely settled into the senior room, he’s explored all corners of his new space and in the afternoon it’s a joy to see him on the outside catio area thrilling in the parade of dogs walking by as they are brought in for the night time hour. Dog after dog strolls by and as we know, Triscuit LOVES dogs. Should you miss seeing Mr Salty Face himself outside on the catio, likely he’s inside on a window ledge catching alternative outside action in that manner. He’s good for a couple head pets and then you can move to other kitties. LOL. We love having Triscuit under our care and with no emerging health issues, he’s got plenty more doggy parades to sit on the sidelines and enjoy.
