Zeus Portraits

This is Zeus.

Zeus is the first cat I ever had. He is orange and very fuzzy and has the best whiskers ever. His favorite food in the world is canteloupe. He likes to sit on damp towels and lie on our chests underneath the covers in bed. He likes to have his eyes covered with your hand. He chases laser pointers and flying bugs and anything that moves in a smooth pattern. His tracking is excellent—he can snatch flies right out of the air.

Zeus will only drink water out of your water glass. No other water is acceptable.

Holly and I adopted Zeus in September of 1998 from the Champaign County Humane Society. Live in the Urbana-Champaign area and looking for a dog, cat, or rabbit? Give their website a visit! Support them by adopting, volunteering, or visiting their gift shop in Lincoln Square mall.

Here are some silly Zeus pictures.

Our cat tree features a dangling triangle most cats hate...	...but through the use of cat treats, I trained Zeus to sit in it!	Now he sits in it all the time, but expects to get treats when he enters it	Zeus in his triangle, looking sad and forlorn for some reason

Zeus likes to open cupboards to prove he controls his physical environment	Closeup of Zeus in the cupboard	Zeus likes being inside bags of all kinds	I guess he feels all safe and hidden
