Pet of the Week

Trapper

At first glance, Trapper seems to be just another tabby, a dime a dozen, run-of-the-mill domestic short-hair. But take a second look and you'll notice a sculptured quality to his features and an aristocratic demeanor. You could even say he looks like an Egyptian cat, like the ones that were worshipped and treated like royalty and sat on pillows all day while their humans brought them fresh fish and cream. Trapper could get into that. Or he'd settle for the life of a commoner, with a regular family and some basic cat chow. Either way is fine with him, because in his heart of hearts, Trapper knows that tabbies rule!
